Patriots Activate DT Milton Williams from IR for Finale, Boosting Run Defense

Patriots defensive tackle Milton Williams has been activated from injured reserve and is eligible to play in the regular-season finale against the Dolphins. Williams, who missed five games with an ankle injury sustained in Week 11, was a key offseason addition, recording 32 pressures and 3.5 sacks in 10 games. His return is crucial as the Patriots' run defense struggled significantly in his absence.
