Patriots defensive back Joejuan Williams is out for the season with a shoulder injury, according to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The 24-year-old cornerback is entering his fourth season with the Patriots after being selected in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Vanderbilt. He’s also on the last year of his rookie contract.
Rapoport referred to Williams as a “depth piece” for the Patriots, a player who helps deepen the rotation at the position but has mostly played limited snaps at cornerback and on special teams.
