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, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact 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.

Enters concussion protocol Coach Adam Gase said that Williams entered concussion protocol Sunday, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
Impact 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 to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol if he is to be activated for a Week 16 game against Cleveland.

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.
Impact 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.

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.
Impact 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 New England, with as many tackles the past two outings as he's had in any two-game stretch all season.

Win or lose, it's Darnold's job to lead Jets rest of the way
Sam Darnold’s return was supposed to be the big spark for the New York JetsNOVEMBER 30, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
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.
Impact 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.
Impact 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.
Impact 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.
