The New England Patriots have placed defensive tackle Milton Williams on Injured Reserve due to a high-ankle sprain, sidelining him for at least four weeks. This move allows the team to manage their roster during a challenging period for their defensive line. Williams absence will be felt, as he has been a key player in pressuring opponents and drawing double teams. Other players like Elijah Ponder and Christian Barmore will see increased playing time. The teams run defense held up well against the Jets after Williams left, but maintaining that without his presence will be a significant test. The Patriots schedule offers a bit of a cushion, with Williams potentially returning for the playoff push if he recovers within four weeks.
