"The injury isn't season ending, the source said. The former first-team All-Pro got caught in a pileup on a third-and-2 running play and left the game. He didn't return. Williams was replaced by Marcelino McCrary-Ball, who plays predominantly on special teams. Williams is an every-down linebacker and tone setter with sideline-to-sideline speed. He has 1.5 sacks, 15 tackles (second on the team) and two tackles for loss."
"The Jets (0-3), who face the Miami Dolphins (0-3) on Monday night, are off to a slow start on defense. They've allowed 93 points, fourth-most in the NFL. At the current pace, they would allow 527 points, which would be a franchise high. To help their depth, they signed linebacker Mark Robinson from the New England Patriots' practice squad. The fourth-year veteran played in all three games for the Patriots, exclusively on special teams."
Quincy Williams will miss at least four games after sustaining a shoulder injury and being placed on injured reserve; the injury is not season-ending. Williams, a former first-team All-Pro and key every-down linebacker, had 1.5 sacks, 15 tackles and two tackles for loss. The Jets have struggled defensively, allowing 93 points through three games — a pace that projects to 527 points. The team signed linebacker Mark Robinson from the Patriots' practice squad for depth. Quarterback Justin Fields is in concussion protocol after missing last week, with his status to be clearer after Thursday's practice.
