Patriots CB Joejuan Williams injures shoulder, out for season (report)

New England Patriots CB Joejuan Williams will reportedly miss the upcoming season with a shoulder injury.

Williams was selected by the Patriots in the second round (45th overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft. He was the sixth cornerback selected.

Last season was Williams’ best of his career, playing in 12 games and picking up 15 solo tackles, but the former Vanderbilt standout has struggled to find consistency during his first three years in New England.

Williams has carved out a role on special teams during his time with the Patriots, but has yet to live up to the expected potential of a second round selection, playing in only 36 games up to this point.
