Patriots Place DT Milton Williams on Injured Reserve with Ankle Injury

New England Patriots defensive tackle Milton Williams has been placed on injured reserve due to an ankle injury, confirming earlier reports. This move means Williams will miss at least the next four games while he recovers. Williams, an early free agency signing by the Patriots and a former Eagle, had started every game this season. In his 11 appearances, he recorded 35 tackles, seven tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, and eight quarterback hits. The Patriots signed linebacker Bradyn Swinson from the practice squad to fill the open spot on their 53-man roster.
