Jets defensive end Leonard Williams left the game vs. the Giants with a wrist injury and did not return, the team announced via Twitter. Coach Todd Bowles told reporters after the game that Williams was simply sore and will be fine.
It was a solid night for Williams' teammate and fellow defensive end, Sheldon Richardson, who notched a sack and a pressure that resulted in an interception early in the Jets' 32-31 loss to the Giants. New York will need both Williams and Richardson if it has any plans to pressure opposing quarterbacks in 2017.
Quarterback Bryce Petty left the game with a left knee injury during the fourth quarter. He will undergo an MRI on Sunday, Bowles said.
