Quinnen Williams, step on down. Folorunso Fatukasi, opportunity is knocking. Nathan Shepherd, now is your chance.
The trade of Leonard Williams to the Giants will clear the way for these young defensive linemen to showcase their ability. Sunday against the Dolphins will be their first of many chances with extended playing time.
“It’s huge. You lose a guy like Leo, who’s playing a big percentage of snaps, that opens the door for guys like Foley and Shep and Q,” said veteran defensive lineman Henry Anderson, who is hopeful to return Sunday against the Dolphins after missing the past three games with a shoulder injury.
