News

  • Fifth-year option picked

    General manager Joe Douglas said Wednesday that the Jets will exercise Williams' fifth-year option for 2023, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams produced similarly in 2021 compared to his sophomore campaign a year prior, so the decision to guarantee his contract through 2023 comes as little surprise. The third overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, Williams still has the potential to be a defensive anchor -- and earn himself a long-term extension -- if he can take his production up a notch during the upcoming season.

  • Plateaus in third year

    Williams finished with 53 tackles (36 solo), six sacks and three passes defensed in 2021.

    Analysis: Williams' production over 15 appearances in his third season was similar to the 55 tackles and seven sacks he posted in two fewer games as a sophomore. The third-overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft hasn't become a dominant force a la Aaron Donald, but Williams is a solid player in his own right. New York will have a decision to make this offseason regarding whether to exercise Williams' fifth-year option for 2023, but he'll be on the team in 2022 regardless.

  • Removed from COVID-19 list

    The Jets activated Williams (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Williams was dealing with a shoulder issue before landing in the NFL's COVID-19 protocols, but it's unclear how his stint away from the team impacted the injury. The 2019 first-round pick hasn't suited up since Week 15, when he played a season-low 22 defensive snaps due to the shoulder problem. However, when healthy, the defensive tackle has been extremely productive this season, totaling 48 tackles and six sacks across 13 appearances.

  • Enters COVID protocols

    Williams (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday.

    Analysis: Williams was already questionable for Sunday against the Jaguars with a shoulder injury, but now that's he on the COVID list, he's definitively out. In his absence, Nathan Shepherd will likely step into the starting role and try to provide a pass rush for the Jets' defensive line.

  • May play Week 16

    Coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Williams (shoulder) "looks good" and could play Sunday against the Jaguars, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams aggravated his shoulder injury during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins and was unable to return, but he may not end up missing additional time. The 24-year-old's participation at practice later this week should provide a better idea regarding his outlook versus Jacksonville.

  • Unlikely to return

    Williams (shoulder) is doubtful to return Sunday against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Williams came into Sunday dealing with a shoulder injury. Whether this is something new or an aggravation of the injury is unknown. With Williams off the field, Nathan Shepherd should see a healthy amount of snaps, and Jonathan Marshall may possibly see an uptick as well.

  • No limitations Wednesday

    Williams (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams underwent an MRI on his shoulder Monday after he sustained an injury in Sunday's loss to the Saints. However, the issue isn't believed to be serious, and the defensive tackle should be able to play through the injury Sunday against Miami.

  • Expects to play through injury

    Williams had an MRI on his shoulder Monday, and he expects to be able to play through the injury, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

    Analysis: Williams was injured while making a tackle early in the third quarter of Sunday's loss to the Saints. The third-year pro was able to return to the contest sporting a shoulder harness and finished with three tackles across 34 defensive snaps. If Williams is going to push through without missing time, then he will likely have to continuing wearing the harness, but the good news is that it didn't appear to negatively impact his performance against New Orleans.

  • Returns to action

    Williams (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's game against the Saints, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams was injured early in the third quarter while making a tackle. However, he was able to return while wearing a shoulder harness, as reported by Brian Costello of the New York Post.

  • Suffers shoulder injury

    Williams is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints due to a shoulder injury, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Williams brought down Alvin Kamara on a third-down run early in the third quarter, though he appeared to suffer the injury on that play. He was seen walking to the locker room, but no determination has been made as to his availability for the rest of the game. Williams made one stop prior to his exit.

  • Effective against Colts

    Williams totaled eight tackles (seven solo) in Thursday's 45-30 loss to Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Williams was limited to just two tackles in last week's win over Cincinnati, but he racked up a season-high eight tackles against the Colts. Across his three appearances since the Jets' Week 6 bye, he's totaled 14 tackles (13 solo), a sack and a pass defense.

  • Leads sack party in upset win

    Williams totaled seven tackles (six solo), two sacks and a tackle for loss in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Williams racked up two of the Jets' seven sacks as the Jets pass rush feasted against a shaky Titans offensive line. With 3.5 sacks over the last two games, Williams has turned things around dramatically after looking nearly invisible over the season's first two contests.

    Published: Sun, Oct 3 at 8:59pm by Rotowire.com

  • Finally shows up with 1.5 sacks

    Williams had four tackles (three solo), 1.5 sacks and a tackle for loss in Sunday's 26-0 loss to Denver.

    Analysis: There were few positive takeaways for the Jets as they fell to 0-3 in shutout fashion, but Williams' performance was one. Williams had totaled just five tackles without a sack through the first two games, as he was still finding his footing after missing camp with a broken foot. He finally regained a form more reminiscent of last season's seven-sack campaign in this one, and the Jets will need Williams to keep generating pressure from the interior given their lack of pass rush on the outside.

  • Absent from injury report

    Williams (foot) isn't listed on the Jets' Wednesday injury report heading into the season opener against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Williams had surgery to repair a broken foot in early May, but his absence from the injury report confirms expectations that he would be all systems go by the time the season came around. After a pedestrian rookie season, the third overall pick in the 2019 draft broke out with seven sacks over 13 games in 2020, and Williams should continue to provide much-needed interior pressure for a Jets defense that will struggle to generate an outside pass rush in the wake of Carl Lawson's season-ending…read more

  • Activated from PUP

    Williams (foot) was activated from the PUP list for Monday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams returns to practice as a limited participant, with nearly four weeks to ramp up and prepare for the regular-season opener against Carolina on Sept. 12. He's arguably the most important player for the New York defense, recording 55 tackles and seven sacks in 13 games in his age-23 season last year. Williams then broke his foot in the spring and had surgery in early May, missing offseason practices and the first three weeks of training camp. He's unlikely to play this preseason but…read more

  • Nearing return

    Coach Robert Saleh said Williams (foot) will go through "a mock practice" Friday and should return next week, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

    Analysis: Williams can still be considered on track for the Jets' regular-season opener against the Panthers on Sept. 12, barring any setbacks. It remains to be seen whether Williams will end up handling any preseason action, however. Given that he's still on the PUP list, it seems all but assured that Williams will at least sit out Saturday's exhibition matchup against the Giants.

  • Working on the side

    Williams (foot) is running on the side at Monday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams, who Cimini reports is roughly two weeks away from a full return, still appears to be completely on track in his recovery. The 2019 first-round pick may not end up seeing preseason action in the coming weeks, but the Jets expect him to be available to kick off the regular season.

  • Should be ready for Week 1

    Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Williams (foot) is expected to be available for the regular-season opener Sept. 12 at Carolina, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Williams won't see much, if any, preseason action while he recovers from foot surgery, but the 2019 first-round pick should be good to go once the games start to count. He's coming off a promising sophomore season in which he notched seven sacks over 13 appearances. Williams is expected to resume practicing before New York's second preseason game.

  • Enters camp on PUP list

    The Jets have placed Williams (foot) on the Active/PUP list, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: No surprise here, as Williams underwent surgery to repair a broken bone in his foot in early-May. He was expected to be sidelined 10-12 weeks, which would lead to a potential return in the coming weeks. The 23-year-old has emerged as one of the best players on the Jets' defensive front by accumulating 83 tackles and 9.5 sacks across 26 games with the team.

  • Out at least two months

    Williams underwent surgery to repair a broken bone in his foot and will be out the next 10-to-12 weeks, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The surgery means Williams will miss all of OTAs and June minicamp, but coach Robert Saleh believes the defensive end should be healthy in time for training camp. In two seasons with the Jets, the 23-year-old has emerged as one of the best players along the team's defensive front, registering 83 tackles and 9.5 sacks across 26 games.

  • Breaks bone in foot

    Williams likely will need surgery after breaking a small bone in his foot, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The surgery, assuming it happens, would come with a recovery estimate of 8-to-10 weeks, ruling Williams out for OTAs and June minicamp. He'd still have a shot to be ready for the start of training camp, though the Jets might ease him into practice even if he seems healthy again. Williams looked the part of a No. 3 overall pick in his second pro season, finishing 2020 with 55 tackles and seven sacks in only 13 games.

  • Officially placed on IR

    Williams (neck/concussion) was placed on IR on Wednesday.

    Analysis: This move was just a formality, as it came out earlier in the day that Williams would miss the season's final two games to heal up from the injuries he suffered while taking a hit to the head in Sunday's win over the Rams. Prior to exiting the contest, Williams picked up his fifth sack in the last seven games, bringing his total to seven on the season. He also contributed 55 tackles and two forced fumbles over his 13 games.

  • Done for season

    The Jets plan to shut Williams down for the final two games of the season while he contends with a neck injury and concussion, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: According to Schefter, New York is expected to place Williams on injured reserve, with that transaction perhaps becoming official later Wednesday. After a quiet rookie season, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft broke out in his sophomore campaign, tallying 55 tackles and seven sacks in 13 games.

  • Goes into concussion protocol

    Coach Adam Gase said that Williams entered concussion protocol Sunday, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: New York delivered a spirited 23-20 victory over the heavily favored Rams to end a winless 2020 campaign, but the upset didn't come without an injury to one of the team's defensive stalwarts. Williams has been emerging as a pocket disruptor in his second pro campaign, collecting his seventh sack of the season Sunday after generating just two a year ago. The Alabama product has also produced more than double the number of QB hits compared to his 2019 output. Looking forward, Williams will have…read more

  • Takes hit to head

    Williams is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams because of a head injury, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams absorbed an accidental hit in the head from a teammate, rendering Nathan Shepherd as the next man up at defensive end for the time being. The 2019 No. 3 overall draft choice had racked up three tackles and a sack prior to his second-half departure. He's been heating up of late, with four sacks over his past five appearances.

  • Disrupts pocket in loss to Dolphins

    Williams registered seven tackles, 1.5 sacks, two pass defections and a forced fumble during Sunday's 20-3 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: Three QB hits against the Dolphins marked a single-game career high for the 2019 No. 3 overall draft choice. This breakthrough may have been foreseeable from Williams, as he has been finding ways to reach the quarterback with greater frequency over his past four appearances. He has three sacks in a quarter-season sample size since Week 7, after recording two sacks over his first six appearances of 2020. Williams has bounced back nicely from a hamstring injury that held him out Week 9 against…read more

  • Wreaks havoc in loss

    Williams recorded seven tackles (four solo), 1.5 sacks, a tackle for loss, two passes defensed and three quarterback hits in Sunday's 20-3 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: Williams' strong effort was a silver lining as the Jets fell to 0-11. The third overall selection from the 2019 draft consistently got into Miami's backfield and made life difficult for Ryan Fitzpatrick. Williams is up to five sacks on the season, including three in his last four games.

  • Cleared for Sunday's game

    Williams (hamstring) won't carry an injury tag into Sunday's game versus the Chargers.

    Analysis: Williams practiced Wednesday for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury in a Week 8 loss to the Chiefs, and he upgraded to full participation Friday, clearing him for Sunday's game. The 2019 first-round pick has recorded three sacks and eight quarterback pressures this year, and he'll aim to make rookie Justin Herbert uncomfortable in the pocket Sunday.

  • Aiming to practice this week

    Coach Adam Gase said Monday that he hopes Williams (hamstring) is able to practice with limitations Wednesday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Williams suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 8 loss to the Chiefs, and it appears he'll have a chance to return after three weeks of recovery. However, if he's not ready or the Jets opt to take a cautious approach, Nathan Shepherd or John Franklin-Myers will pick up the reps at defensive end.

  • Can't go for MNF

    Williams (hamstring) is inactive heading into the Jets' matchup against New England on Monday night.

    Analysis: The 2019 No. 3 overall draft choice was designated as doubtful Saturday after being unable to participate in practice at all throughout the week. Williams had exited last Sunday's loss to Kansas City with a hamstring issue, though he was able to return to action Week 8. With the issue remaining bothersome to the point that Williams is not able to go against New England, Nathan Shepherd will now see an increase in usage at defensive end.

  • Deemed doubtful

    The Jets have listed Williams (hamstring) as doubtful for Monday's game against the Patriots, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Williams was unable to practice all week and it seems that he will need a quick turnaround in health to have any chance of suiting up Monday night. Nathan Shepherd (back) would presumably replace him at defensive end, but it should be noted that he is listed as questionable.

  • DNP to start week

    Williams (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Coach Adam Gase said Williams' lingering injury will be taken day by day, and that the second-year pro's status for Week 9 remains uncertain. Fellow defensive linemen John Franklin-Myers (knee) and Nathan Shepherd (back) are also banged up.

  • Hamstring remains bothersome

    Williams (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs and could miss some practice time, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 22-year-old exited Sunday's contest due to the hamstring injury and was able to return, but the injury still proves bothersome. Williams may be limited or absent from practice this week, but he should at least have a chance to play Week 9 given he already played through the injury.

  • Right back in against KC

    Williams (hamstring) was briefly removed from Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs but he has since returned to action, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Alabama product has been made available at the onset of the fourth quarter, as Kansas City will likely try to grind the clock from here on out, in control of a three-possession lead. Williams and the Jets have kept the Chiefs' potent ground attack in check through three quarters, limiting the team to under 30 rushing yards.

  • Hamstring issue pops up again

    Williams (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: The 2019 No. 3 overall draft choice was dealing with a hamstring issue heading into a Week 6 trip to Miami, but he was able to suit up for more than 60 percent of the defensive snaps during that contest. Williams made it through last week's 18-10 loss to Buffalo with no issue either, but he's once again beleaguered by a hamstring injury in the midst of a visit to Arrowhead Stadium. Should Williams be unavailable to return, Nathan Shepherd would be in line for more opportunities at defensive end.

  • Active as expected

    Williams (hamstring) will suit up in Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: It was reported earlier Sunday that Williams was on track to play after preparing in practice in a limited capacity. Now healthy, Williams will assume his usual starting role across the Jets' defensive line. The Alabama product has logged just 19 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble this year.

  • On track to play

    Williams (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, is expected to play, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Williams' status will be confirmed with the release of the Jets' inactive list, which is expected to be revealed around 11:30 a.m. ET. After a disappointing rookie season in 2019, Williams has shown improved production through the Jets' first five contests of 2020, logging 19 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble.

  • Deemed questionable for Sunday

    Williams (hamstring) is considered questionable for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Williams was able to practice all week, albeit in a limited capacity, so he appears to have a good chance to play in Sunday's divisional contest. If he ends up sitting out, Kyle Phillips and Nathan Shepherd will both handle increased duties at defensive end.

  • Limited to begin week

    Williams was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams appears to have sustained a groin injury during Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, in which he handled 55 percent of defensive snaps and logged three tackles (one solo). Other than a Week 2 performance against the 49ers in which he notched two sacks, Williams has been quiet through the first five games of the season.

  • Charges dropped

    Williams had his felony weapons charges dismissed Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Williams' attorney, Alex Spiros, said that "this case was nothing more than a technical issue with the storing of the firearm, which is why the government gave [Williams] nothing more than a ticket." The league isn't expected to intervene at this time. Expect the 2019 first-round pick to continue starting at defensive end where he's piled up 16 tackles and two sacks through four games.

  • Two sacks in blowout loss

    Williams recorded seven tackles (four solo) and two sacks in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Williams' strong play was one of the few silver linings for the Jets, as they suffered a second consecutive resounding defeat to open the season. After an underwhelming rookie season in which he was bothered by a high ankle sprain, Williams is starting to show the talent that prompted New York to draft him with the third overall pick in 2019.

  • Bothered by ankle last year

    Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams said (Quinnen) Williams was seriously impacted by a high-ankle sprain last year, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: The Alabama product missed two games in September with an ankle injury and a third game in December due to a stinger. He finished his rookie campaign with 28 tackles, 2.5 sacks and six QB hits on 512 defensive snaps, making nine starts in 13 appearances. It was a disappointing effort by the standards of a No. 3 overall draft pick, but it sounds like the Jets have huge expectations for the 22-year-old Williams now that he's fully healthy.

  • Off-field issues surface

    Williams was arrested Thursday night for allegedly carrying a gun through LaGuardia Airport, Larry Celona and Vincent Barone of the New York Post reports.

  • Limited impact as rookie

    Williams finished his rookie campaign with 28 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 13 games played.

    Analysis: New York was certainly hoping for more out of the third overall selection from the 2019 draft, but Williams was never quite able to get to 100 percent as a rookie. He dealt with a calf injury leading up to the season and injured his ankle Week 1, keeping him off the field until Week 5. If he can get through the offseason healthy, look for Williams to make a much greater impact on the interior of New York's defensive line in his second season.
