Old school Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams fights through injury

Quinnen Williams thought he suffered a serious injury to his shoulder Sunday, but it didn’t keep him out long.

When the pain lessened and the Jets’ medical staff gave Williams the option to play or rest, Williams chose to put a harness on his shoulder and return to the field.

"The first thing in my head was I got to finish this game," Williams said Monday. "I got to finish this season off strong, give us an opportunity to win football games and stuff like that.

"I was just really trying to show myself I can push through pain because there are people going through way worse stuff on the team.
