Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams did not practice on Friday and he will continue to miss time in the near future.
Head coach Aaron Glenn said that Williams will be out for a week or two after hurting his calf in Thursday’s practice. Glenn called the decision to hold Williams out “precautionary” and that the team wants to have Williams at his best for the regular season.
“We want to make sure this player is going to be good,” Glenn said, via Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. “We know what he’s all about. We know what he can do. And listen, we want to hold him out and we’ll see how that goes.”
