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.

Legendary Barry Sanders Defends Jameson Williams, Blasts NFL’s “Rigid” Rules After Controversial Celebration Penalty vs. Eagles
Detroit, Michigan – November 18, 2025 The fury of Detroit Nation had barely subsided after the 16-9 loss to the Eagles when a new wave of controversy erupted—this time over a highly disputed penalty handed to Jameson Williams. In the Lions’ only touchdown of the game at Lincoln Financial Field, an overjoyed Williams hugged and lightly climbed the goalpost padding in celebration—a moment widely seen as harmless. Yet the NFL immediately flagged it as “excessive.” UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT is a ridiculous penalty & should be eliminatedThat said, its here to stay unfortunately & Williams + #Lions surely must realize they're gonna call it on primetime. Got to be smarterThat missed PAT may come back to bite Detroit #DETvsPHI #OnePride… pic.twitter.com/eLpOAN1A97 — nflrefstats (@nflrefstats1) November 17, 2025 The penalty infuriated Lions fans. In a defensive slugfest that produced almost no points, Williams’ score was one of the few bright spots of the afternoon. The outrage grew even louder when the celebration video went viral, sparking a league-wide debate about the NFL’s strictness toward emotional outbursts. That’s when one of the greatest icons in Lions history stepped in. Legendary running back Barry Sanders—the very soul of Detroit throughout the 1990s—publicly defended Williams and criticized the league in a rare interview. Sanders seldom speaks out on controversies, so his decision to do so now instantly commanded attention across the NFL. In a statement that touched the hearts of Lions fans everywhere, Sanders spoke softly but with unmistakable weight: “The spirit of the game comes from moments like that. Joy doesn’t hurt anybody. Jameson was just showing the real emotion of a player fighting for his team. The NFL is becoming too rigid and is losing the human side of this sport. We in Detroit never forget what gives football its heart.” His words spread like wildfire through Detroit Nation, creating a rare unity between the old and new generations of Lions supporters. Barry Sanders standing up for Jameson Williams was more than moral support—it felt like a powerful affirmation of Detroit’s identity: a city that always stands for what is authentic and full of emotion. And this time, the Lions have found the strongest possible voice to push back against what many see as an unjust penalty from the NFL.
