""I think we'll start his window, see how he responds through the week of practice and go from there," coach Mike Vrabel said. "I know he worked extremely hard, off with the strength and conditioning staff, with the training staff and involved in meetings." "So, that's really hard to do, is to be engaged in meetings when you know you're not going to play and have some time. And so, appreciate what he's done here, his leadership and his willingness to try to get back.""
""I tried to come back, but when you watch it, I was kind of favoring it and dragging it a little bit," Williams said. "Then, after halftime, it just got stiff on me. I could hardly push off of it anymore, so I hopped on the treatment, went to see the docs to see what was going on and just stuck to the plan.""
Milton Williams returned to practice, initiating his 21-day activation window after a high ankle sprain sustained on Nov. 13. Players coming off injured reserve must be activated within 21 days or return to IR for the season. Williams missed four games while the Patriots went 3-1 during that span. The team will monitor his response and practice workload through the week before making an activation decision. Williams initially tried to play through the injury, experienced increased stiffness, pursued treatment, and now reports the ankle is feeling better ahead of practice assessments.
