The first three seasons of Joejuan Williams’ career were mostly disappointing, and it appears Year 4 will be more of the same for the defensive back. According to a report by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Williams will miss the remainder of the 2022 season because of a shoulder injury.
Williams, 24, hurt his shoulder in the New England Patriots’ preseason opener versus the New York Giants. The expectation is that he will be moved to injured reserve ahead of the roster cutdown deadline on Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET.
Williams originally joined the Patriots as a second-round selection in the 2019 NFL Draft.
