"He was a limited participant during Wednesday's and Friday's practices, but did not participate on Thursday. New England head coach Mike Vrabel didn't have much to say about Williams's ailment when asked by a reporter about it. "It's an ankle, as it's listed on the injury report, and it's limited," Vrabel said. Williams played 58 percent of the Patriots' defensive snaps in last week's 42-13 win over the Carolina Panthers. He logged one solo tackle in the victory."
""Worked really hard," Vrabel said. "Worked really hard to be in shape, trying to simulate football shape and his return to play, trying to maximize the time away from the actual practice, and working with our training staff, working with our strength coaches and was ready to go. And so, it was exciting to see him get out there and get practice, defense and the special teams, and trying to see where he's at.""
Four Patriots defensive players are listed as questionable ahead of Week 5 at Buffalo: Milton Williams (ankle), K'Lavon Chaisson (knee), Jahlani Tavai (calf), and Carlton Davis III (illness). Williams was limited Wednesday and Friday and did not practice Thursday; he played 58 percent of defensive snaps in the previous game and logged one solo tackle. Williams has not recorded a sack since Week 2. Chaisson did not practice on Wednesday or Friday. Tavai returned to practice and was a full participant each day while working to regain football shape. Coach Mike Vrabel will evaluate players before making decisions.
