Patriots Designate DT Milton Williams for Return from Injured Reserve

Patriots defensive tackle Milton Williams has been designated for return from injured reserve, opening his 21-day practice window. Williams, who missed the last four games with an ankle injury suffered in Week 11, is expected to practice Wednesday. While his availability for Sunday's game against the Jets remains unclear, he is anticipated to be back for the postseason. His absence significantly impacted the Patriots' run defense. Williams started the first 11 games of the season, recording 27 tackles and 3.5 sacks after signing a four-year contract in March.
