Quinnen Williams (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday.
Williams returned to play last week after logging three consecutive Limited Participant designations. While it’s possible today is just a precautionary rest day after his reactivation last week, Williams’ inability to practice is at least somewhat worrisome.
Jets declared DT Quinnen Williams, NB Michael Carter II, DB Jarrick-Bernard Converse, OL Jake Hanson and DB Jaylin Simpson inactive for Week 16 against the Rams.
The Jets’ defensive line is already banged up, so losing Williams in the interior of that line is a big loss. Expect the Rams to try to exploit that with Kyren Williams early and often.
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports Quinnen Williams (hamstring) will play a “limited role” if active for Week 16 against the Rams.
Williams was listed as questionable on the final injury report after interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich told reporters the team was hopeful he would suit up this week. Per Garafolo, Williams will test out his hamstring this morning before the team makes a final decision. The stud interior pass-rusher has six sacks and eight TFLs this year, impressive numbers for a defensive tackle. Losing him would be a notable blow to a struggling Jets defense.
Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said the team is “hopeful” DT Quinnen Williams (hamstring) will play in Week 16 against the Rams.
Per Ulbrich, the team will take things all the way down until kickoff with Williams, meaning he will officially be listed as questionable on the final injury report of the week. Williams has six sacks and eight TFLs this season. Losing him would be a massive blow to a Jets defense that has already collapsed since firing defensive-minded head coach Robert Saleh.
