New York Jets All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams is inactive for Sunday’s home game against the Los Angeles Rams after missing practice all week because of a hamstring injury.
His streak will end at 34 consecutive games started and played since his last deactivation for a Dec. 18, 2022, home game against the Detroit Lions, according to the team. He was downgraded from questionable for the game in East Rutherford, N.J.
Williams, who turned 27 on Saturday, has started all 14 of New York’s games this season and has 35 tackles (eight for loss), 17 quarterback hits and six sacks.
The Jets selected Williams with the third overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Alabama. He has 288 career tackles (52 for loss), 97 QB hits, 39 sacks, one interception, five forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in 88 games (84 starts).
He was voted to the Pro Bowl in 2022 and 2023 and was first-team All-Pro in 2022.
The Jets (4-10) inactive list also includes safety Jaylin Simpson, offensive linemen Jake Hanson and Xavier Newman, and cornerbacks Jarrick Bernard-Converse and Michael Carter II. The latter already had been ruled out because of a back injury.
The Rams (8-6) announced their inactive players: quarterback Stetson Bennett, wide receiver Tyler Johnson, cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr., running back Cody Schrader, and offensive linemen Dylan McMahon and Warren McClendon Jr.
