The Patriots placed Williams (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday. The fifth-year defensive tackle suffered a high-ankle sprain during the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets, and the injury is severe enough for Williams to go on injured reserve. He'll be required to miss at least the next four games, and with the Patriots on a bye Week 14, that makes Week 17 against the Jets on Sunday, Dec. 28 the earliest he can return from injured reserve. Cory Durden and Eric Gregory are poised for more snaps on the defensive line for as long as Williams is out of action.

Williams sustained a high-ankle sprain in Thursday's 27-14 win over the Jets and is expected to miss multiple weeks, Arnav Sharma of Sports Illustrated reports. The first-year Patriot suffered a high-ankle sprain on the first drive of Thursday's win, playing just eight defensive snaps before exiting. Williams has been one of New England's most impactful defenders this season, recording 27 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and one pass defended over the team's first 11 games. Cory Durden will likely have an expanded role on the Patriots' defensive line while Williams is sidelined.

Cory Durden is his backup.

Williams (illness) is active for Sunday's matchup versus the Saints. Williams was a last-minute addition to the Patriots' injury report early Sunday due to an illness. It appears he'll be able to give it a go against New Orleans, though he probably won't be at 100 percent. New England will nonetheless look to Williams, who has 2.5 sacks through five games, to bolster its pass rush.
