  • Jets' Quinnen Williams: Wants extension after 12-sack year

    Williams finished the 2022 season with 12.0 sacks, 55 tackles (35 solo), four passes defensed, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in 16 games.

    Williams' career high sack total is even more impressive when you consider that he accrued it while rushing from the interior. The Jets picked up his fifth-year option for 2023, but Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports that Williams is hoping to get a long-term deal done by April. Williams can't quite demand Aaron Donald money ($31.7 million per year), but he's the league's premier source of interior pressure after Donald and is seeking to become the second-highest paid defensive tackle at more than $21 million per year.

  • Jets' Quinnen Williams: Makes early impact in return

    Williams (calf) totaled two solo tackles, one sack, one pass defensed and a forced fumble in Thursday's 19-3 loss to the Jaguars.

    After missing the previous game, Williams made an immediate impact, ending Jacksonville's first drive with a strip-sack of Trevor Lawrence to set the Jets up with an instant red zone opportunity. New York ended up settling for a field goal and it was all Jaguars after that, but Williams' ability to pick up where he left off prior to getting injured is a small silver lining for the Jets. The sack was Williams' 12th in 14 games.

  • Jets' Quinnen Williams: Good to go for TNF

    Williams (calf) has been ruled active ahead of Thursday's game against the Jaguars.

    Williams will return after a one-game hiatus due to a calf injury. The fourth-year defensive tackle has recorded 47 tackles and a career-high 11 tackles over 13 games this season, so his return will be a major boost alongside fellow starting defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins.

  • Jets' Quinnen Williams: On track to play Thursday

    Williams (calf), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Jaguars, is in line to play, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

    Confirmation on Williams' status will be made available when New York releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Before missing his first game of the season in last week's loss to the Lions, the standout defensive tackle compiled 47 tackles, 11 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery through 13 appearances.

  • Jets' Quinnen Williams: Officially questionable

    Williams (calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Jaguars, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Head coach Robert Saleh said Tuesday that Williams would be a game-time decision Thursday, so his questionable designation comes as no surprise, though the 2019 first-round pick's return to full participation Wednesday is certainly an encouraging update. Williams sat out Week 15 due to the calf issue, so his potential return would be a major boost against a budding Jacksonville offense. The defensive tackle has 47 tackles, 11 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 532 defensive snaps this year.

  • Jets' Quinnen Williams: Will be game-time decision

    Head coach Robert Saleh said Tuesday that Williams (calf) will be a game-time decision ahead of Thursday's matchup against Jacksonville, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Williams sat out Week 15 due to the issue, but Saleh said Williams is trending in the right direction, though the defensive tackle's availability likely won't be known until kickoff. The 2019 first-round pick has 11 sacks this season, so his potential return would be a significant boost to the Jets defense.

  • Jets' Quinnen Williams: Limited on Monday's estimate

    Williams (calf) was a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate.

    Williams is looking to make his return Thursday against the Jaguars after sitting out the Week 15 loss to Detroit. With the Jets sitting just outside postseason position, the star defensive lineman will do all he can to limit his absence to one game. Williams has been a consistent source of interior pressure with 11.0 sacks this season.

  • Jets' Quinnen Williams: Gearing up for potential return

    Williams (calf) appears likely to be able to return to the field in Week 16 against the Jaguars, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

    Head coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Williams' "arrow is pointing up" and he has a real shot at playing Thursday versus Jacksonville. The defensive tackle missed his first contest of the year in Week 15 and will look to limit his absence to just one game and return for Week 16.
