Milton Williams injury update: Patriots DT hurts ankle against Jets | Pats  Pulpit

Williams' injury occurred early in the game when he suffered an ankle issue. Though he attempted to return to the field after being treated in the blue tent, Williams was unable to continue playing and had to leave the field. "We need to keep Williams safe and allow him to rest," Head Coach Mike Vrabel shared after the game. "Losing a key player like Williams at this time is not just a big loss, but it also leaves Patriots worried about our defensive ability in the upcoming critical games."

Losing Williams is a shock for the Patriots, particularly as their defense has already faced many challenges throughout the season. Not having him, a pivotal player in the middle of the defensive line, will make it harder to stop powerful opposing offenses. "We know this is a big challenge. However, we won't let this loss slow us down. The remaining players will need to step up," Vrabel added.

The Patriots are in a crucial stretch of games, and Williams' absence only adds more pressure on the defensive unit. With the decisive phase of the season approaching, the Patriots will need to find ways to maintain consistent performance to continue their playoff journey. "We will have to adjust our approach and ensure we remain strong without Williams," Vrabel affirmed.

The Patriots' medical team will continue to monitor Williams' condition in the coming days, hoping for a swift recovery. Patriots fans will closely follow the situation and hope Williams can return to help the team in the important games ahead.

Injury Update: Right After the Eagles Game, Detroit Nation Receives Joyful News as Defensive Cornerstone Returns to Practice Ahead of Giants Clash at Ford Field
Detroit, Michigan. 11/18/2025 Right after the loss to the Eagles that left the Detroit atmosphere heavy, the Lions unexpectedly received a positive signal. One of the defensive leaders, the player who once participated in Super Bowl LIV, returned to the practice field during the first session of the week. The news immediately spread throughout Detroit Nation, bringing excitement and hope that the team would regain momentum before facing the Giants at Ford Field. The return of this star carries huge meaning for the Lions, especially when the defense is missing several key pieces. He had been sidelined for over a month, and his absence created a significant void on the edge, where the Lions need speed and experience to deal with strong offenses in the NFC. This morning’s practice atmosphere therefore became more vibrant and full of energy. In the middle of the session, the name fans had been waiting for the most finally appeared: cornerback D.J. Reed, who had not played since late September, stepped onto the field with clear confidence. Reed moved fluidly, participated fully in every drill, and quickly became the center of attention. The feeling that the team had just regained an important piece was something anyone present at Ford Field could clearly sense. Head coach Dan Campbell looked no less excited when asked about the roster situation. He sent a positive message to the fans under the press-room lights: “We’ve been waiting for this moment for quite a while. D.J. brings us speed, spirit, and the stability our defense desperately needs. He practiced with full energy, and that’s what helps the team get back up after a tough week. I believe the fans will feel much more relieved.” With Reed preparing to return and the team’s overall spirit improving, the Lions enter the week of preparation against the Giants with high determination. The defense, which faced many questions after the Eagles game, now has a solid reason to believe in a positive shift. Detroit Nation hopes Reed’s timely return will help them turn the tide and put the Lions back on the right track in the increasingly heated playoff race.
