Doug Kyed reports the Patriots are designating DT Milton Williams to return from injured reserve.

Williams has 21 days to return to practice and get activated to the 53-man roster or he will revert to injured reserve for the rest of the season. He’s been out since Week 11 with an ankle injury.

Williams, 26, was a third-round pick by the Eagles out of Louisiana Tech in the 2021 NFL Draft. He signed a four-year, $5.1 million rookie contract through 2024 and made a base salary of $3.1 million this past year.

When testing the free agent market, Williams was set to sign with the Panthers, but wound up agreeing to a four-year, $104 million contract to join New England.

In 2025, Williams has appeared in 11 games for the Patriots and recorded 27 total tackles, seven tackles for loss, three and a half sacks, and one pass defended.
