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.
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields has a concussion and has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, head coach Aaron Glenn announced Wednesday. Fields was placed into the league's concussion protocol after he was hit during the second half of Gang Green's Week 2 blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills. Rolling out of the pocket, the back of Fields' head bounced off the turf after being taken down by Joey Bosa.
The New York Jets' season-opening offensive success was probably a mirage. Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium provided a serious reality check for Gang Green and just how far first-year head coach Aaron Glenn has to take his team toward contention. They were smacked by the AFC East-favorite Buffalo Bills 30-10, relegating them to 0-2 on the young season. After hanging 32 points on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1, the Jets were held to a measly 154 total yards compared to the Bills' 403.
