New England Patriots

Iton missed all of last season while on IR due to a hip injury, though it's unclear if his current issue is related. The Rutgers product did play in all three of the Patriots' preseason contests, but he was waived/injured Sunday. Since he cleared waivers and reverted to IR, Iton will need to sit out the entire 2026 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement with New England.

The fullback hasn't played since Week 4. He's logged 58 snaps on offense and another 39 on special teams across four appearances this season.

Vera-Tucker suffered a hamstring injury in the team's Week 6 win over the Jets, and he will now be forced to miss at least four contests while recovering. In his absence, Walter Rouse will take over as the team's starting left tackle Thursday night versus the Bears.

Van Roten was placed on IR due to a hamstring issue in late September before being designated to return Wednesday. He was limited in all three practices this week, and New England has elected to hold him out of gameday action for at least another week. Van Roten's next chance to suit up is Sunday, Nov. 15, against Detroit.

Onwenu suffered a broken right ankle in the Patriots' win over the Steelers on Sunday, and he appears likely to miss the remainder of the 2026 season. Greg Van Roten is likely the next man up at right guard for New England.

Jacobs participated in the first two preseason games for the Patriots before succumbing to injury, accumulating eight tackles (four solo). The linebacker will need to miss the first four games of the regular season on IR before he is eligible to return to the active roster. While Jacobs is sidelined, Darius Muasau will likely be the first depth option behind starting inside linebackers Christian Elliss and Robert Spillane.

Hutchins appeared in both of the Patriots' first two games of the 2026 campaign, accumulating three total tackles. The rookie will now miss at least four games while tending to a knee injury. While Hutchins has played sparingly, his absence will still allow Gabe Jacas and Jose Ramirez to see a little more action.

Bryant initially drew the questionable tag after logging full practices Thursday and Friday, but he's not quite ready to be activated from injured reserve. His next chance to play is Week 9 against the Packers on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Baringer suffered an injury during the Patriots' 24-21 preseason win over the Eagles and has not practiced since the incident. The punter will need to miss the first four games of the regular season on IR before he is eligible to return to the active roster. The Patriots signed punter Mitch Wishnowsky to the practice squad Monday, and he's expected to fill in during Baringer's absence.

Pettus exited the second quarter of Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers with an ankle injury, and he'll now have to miss at least the next four games while on IR. With Craig Woodson (shoulder) also injured, the team will likely look to sign or elevate a player from the practice squad for Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Jaguars.

Kibble is set to remain with the Patriots despite having previously been waived. The rookie undrafted free agent will now be forced to miss the entirety of the upcoming campaign unless he's waived with an injury settlement.

With Doubs already on injured reserve, this report offers a more encouraging timeline after Sunday's shoulder injury. He'll still need to miss at least four games, but a possible return after the bye would keep the Patriots from being without one of their key wide receivers for an extended stretch. Efton Chism and Kyle Williams will be in line for increased snaps alongside A.J. Brown and slot man DeMario Douglas with Doubs sidelined.

Landry spent the entirety of training camp and the preseason on the active/PUP list with an undisclosed injury. The 30-year-old will now be sidelined for at least four contests to open the 2026 campaign, and the earliest he'd be able to return to action is Week 5 against the Raiders on Oct. 11. In his absence, Elijah Ponder is a top candidate to start opposite of Dre'Mont Jones at outside linebacker.

Elliss's practice reps were not restricted during Week 8 prep, yet the veteran linebacker has been tagged as questionable due to a chest injury. Darius Muasau, Erick Hunter and rookie sixth-rounder Namdi Obiazor would all be candidates for defensive snaps at inside linebacker if Elliss is unable to play Sunday.

Jacas suffered a knee injury in the second half and he may now be forced to miss the final stretch of the game. In his absence, Elijah Ponder and Dre'Mont Jones will operate as the team's two primary options at outside linebacker versus the Dolphins.

Spillane likely suffered his knee injury during last Wednesday's 13-10 loss to the Seahawks. The Patriots' starting linebacker finished the night with eight tackles (seven solo). Spillane played all 50 of the team's defensive snaps in the contest, meaning he either played through the issue or suffered it during Wednesday's session.

Campbell suffered a knee injury in the second half, and he seems unlikely to be able to return before the conclusion of the team's Week 9 contest. In his absence, Caleb Lomu has taken over at left tackle versus Green Bay.

Byard was working through a chest injury in October, but it's unclear whether he's dealing with the same issue for the start of Week 10 prep.

Byard has 43 tackles (23 solo) and three pass defenses (including one interception) through the first nine games of the regular season.

Raridon didn't play in Week 3 against the Jaguars due to a hamstring injury. However, an ankle injury could mean he won't be back in Week 4. If Raridon can't return, Cameron Latu could see more work behind Hunter Henry.

After injuring his foot in Week 8 against Miami, Henry played through the limited practice reps last week against the Packers and turned three targets into three grabs for 35 yards. Assuming he didn't suffer a setback, Henry should be fine for Sunday's game against the Lions in Germany.

Brown sustained a knee injury in the first half, and he will now officially not return to the contest. If he is forced to miss any action moving forward, Walter Rouse is a top candidate to start in Brown's place at offensive guard.

Strictly a special-teamer for New England, Schooler entered play Sunday with four tackles (two solo) across four games this season. His next chance to play will be next Sunday in Detroit.

Davis is in danger of missing the remainder of the game after suffering a knee injury in the second half. Channing Canada and Karon Prunty could be in line for an uptick in playing time if Davis is unable to return to the matchup.

Woods suffered a hamstring injury during pregame warmups and has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Sunday's contest. There is a good chance the cornerback will be sidelined for the game due to the new injury.

Stevenson went to the locker room in the second half and has been ruled out shortly thereafter. The extent and nature of his knee injury will be clarified in the coming days, with Stevenson's next chance to suit up coming Nov. 15 against the Lions in Munich. Corey Kiner and Lan Larison are New England's remaining healthy running backs, as TreVeyon Henderson (illness) is inactive. Stevenson rushed six times for 32 yards while catching three of four targets for 46 yards and a touchdown prior to exiting.

Campbell suffered a knee injury in the second half, and he seems unlikely to be able to return before the conclusion of the team's Week 9 contest. In his absence, Caleb Lomu has taken over at left tackle versus Green Bay.

Van Roten was placed on IR due to a hamstring issue in late September before being designated to return Wednesday. He was limited in all three practices this week, and New England has elected to hold him out of gameday action for at least another week. Van Roten's next chance to suit up is Sunday, Nov. 15, against Detroit.

Hollins exited a Week 4 win at Buffalo in the third quarter due to a calf injury and eventually landed on IR prior to Week 5 action. He thus has missed the requisite four games while on the list, but his status now bears watching ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. With fellow WR A.J. Brown (knee) sidelined, an active Hollins could step into a prominent role in the Patriots passing game alongside position mate DeMario Douglas.

With three consecutive DNPs looming, Brown doesn't seem likely to be available Sunday against the Packers. If Brown is ruled out later Friday, the stage would be set for DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism, Kyle Williams and potentially Mack Hollins (calf) -- who has been designated to return from IR -- to handle New England's Week 9 WR duties.

After opening the week with back-to-back missed practices, Henry's designation leaves the door open for him to play heading into Sunday. If he can't play, New England would need to lean more heavily on rookie Eli Raridon at tight end against Green Bay.

The Patriots would need to activate Hollins from injured reserve by 4 p.m. ET on Saturday to have him available for Sunday's game against the Packers. The team could certainly use him with A.J. Brown (knee) out again, but Hollins never made it back to full practice participation, instead logging limited sessions Wednesday through Friday.

Per Mark Daniels of MassLive.com, Mike Vrabel said that the Patriots won't put a timeline on Henderson's return, while adding, per Lazar, that the team is "just trying to make sure that TreVeyon is cared for and his recovery plan is intact and he's comfortable with it." In the absence of Henderson -- who recently experienced "an unexpected and unusual medical emergency involving a series of unexplained neurological symptoms" -- Rhamondre Stevenson will pace New England's backfield, with Corey Kiner and Lan Larison also mixing in.

Thursday's injury report confirms Brown's absence after he wasn't spotted earlier in the day. Brown has missed the team's first two practices leading up to Sunday's game against the Packers, suggesting he's fighting an uphill battle in his effort to avoid missing a second consecutive game. He has dressed for only three of New England's first eight games. DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism, Kyle Williams and possibly Mack Hollins (calf) would lead the Patriots' wide receiver room Sunday if Brown sits again.

questionable

Henry has started Week 9 prep with back-to-back absences after exiting during the Patriots' Week 8 win over Miami. If the veteran tight end is unable to practice in at least some capacity Friday, he'll likely be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, paving the way for rookie third-round pick Eli Raridon to take on an expanded role.

questionable

Henderson officially goes down as a non-participant for a second consecutive Week 9 practice and has now missed a full week due to this illness. His participation level will be worth monitoring Friday, though it looks likely at this point that Henderson will carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Packers. Corey Kiner would be in line to maintain an expanded role alongside Rhamondre Stevenson if Henderson sits again Sunday.

Brown was sidelined for New England's Week 8 win over Miami, and with another 'DNP' - his third straight -- on tap, the wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Packers is cloudy. On the plus side for the Patriots, Mack Hollins (calf) could return from IR this weekend to bolster a WR corps that also includes DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism and Kyle Williams.

Van Roten has been on injured reserve since Sept. 29 while recovering from a thigh injury, and the team opened his 21-day practice window. If the offensive lineman is unable to be activated in that time frame, he will be forced to remain on IR for the rest of the year.

Henry was unable to return to Sunday's 24-19 win over the Dolphins after exiting in the second quarter due to the foot issue. The Patriots haven't provided many details regarding the severity of the injury, but Henry will be sidelined as the team begins Week 9 prep. Henry will have two more chances to potentially practice this week before the Patriots decide whether he'll take a designation into Sunday's game against the Packers.

questionable

Hollins' last game appearance came back in Week 4, but with his return to practice on the horizon, he could be an option for the Patriots as soon as this Sunday's game against the Packers. With Romeo Doubs (shoulder) currently on IR and A.J. Brown's (ankle/knee) availability for Week 9 looking cloudy, Hollins could have a chance at claiming a meaningful role right off the bat if he's cleared to play versus Green Bay. Prior to sustaining the calf injury, Hollins logged a 15-209-0 receiving line on 20 targets through New England's first four games.

questionable

Henderson also didn't practice this past Thursday and Friday, and then missed the Patriots' Week 8 win over the Dolphins. The running back's looming 'DNP' suggests that he's no lock to play Sunday against the Packers, but Henderson's outlook on that front would no doubt improve with a return to the field in the next couple of days. In his absence against Miami, Rhamondre Stevenson paced New England's rushing attack, while Corey Kiner and Lan Larison mixed in.

Henry recorded three receptions for 30 yards on three targets before exiting in the second quarter of Sunday's 24-19 win over the Dolphins due to the foot issue. The Patriots haven't provided any further word on where exactly Henry stands in his recovery, but more context on that front should arrive when the team releases its first Week 9 injury report Wednesday. Despite his early departure in Week 8, Henry leads the team in receptions (29) and is second to only wideout DeMario Douglas in receiving yards (326) through eight games.

questionable

Brown was inactive for Sunday's 24-19 win over the Dolphins, and Vrabel's comment Monday implies that the wideout's status for this weekend's game against the Packers is uncertain at this stage. In Brown's absence versus Miami, DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism and Kyle Williams paced the Patriots' Week 8 WR corps.

Hollins last saw game action in Week 4, but it's possible that his absence could be capped at the minimum mandated four contests. Prior to sustaining his calf injury, Hollins had recorded a 15-209-0 line on 20 targets, and if he's able to return to action Sunday against the Packers, a key role in the offense could await, with A.J. Brown's (ankle/knee) Week 9 status cloudy.

Brown entered the weekend with the questionable tag despite being held out of practice both Thursday and Friday, and the knee injury that flared up during Wednesday's session is severe enough for the veteran wide receiver to miss Sunday's AFC East tilt. With Brown sidelined, the Patriots' pass-catching group will be led by DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism and tight end Hunter Henry. Brown's next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Packers on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Bryant initially drew the questionable tag after logging full practices Thursday and Friday, but he's not quite ready to be activated from injured reserve. His next chance to play is Week 9 against the Packers on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Henderson was given the questionable tag for Week 8 despite missing the last two practices due to an illness. He won't travel with the team to Miami, so the Patriots' backfield will be led by Rhamondre Stevenson while Corey Kiner provides depth. Henderson's next opportunity to suit up is Week 9 against the Packers on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Patriots coach Mike Vrabel deemed Brown questionable after Friday's practice, in which the wideout didn't participate. Vrabel told reporters that Brown's knee flared up during Wednesday's practice and prevented him from finishing the session, per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. Brown then missed practice Thursday and Friday, putting his availability in serious doubt ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff at Miami on Sunday.

Davis hasn't played since Week 4 because of a neck injury. It's promising that he logged a trio of full practices this week, but New England isn't yet committing to him returning to action against the Dolphins. Should Davis end up missing the matchup, Charles Woods would likely draw another start.

Elliss's practice reps were not restricted during Week 8 prep, yet the veteran linebacker has been tagged as questionable due to a chest injury. Darius Muasau, Erick Hunter and rookie sixth-rounder Namdi Obiazor would all be candidates for defensive snaps at inside linebacker if Elliss is unable to play Sunday.

Henderson logged DNPs on Thursday and Friday and appears to be in danger of missing Sunday's juicy matchup with Miami. His role has been shrinking of late anyway, and if Henderson misses this week's game, Rhamondre Stevenson and Corey Kiner will handle the backfield work for New England.

Thursday's injury report confirms earlier reporting from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network that Brown isn't practicing Thursday. According to Rapoport, Brown recently had a knee issue flare up, which has the wide receiver's status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins in doubt. Brown has six catches for 75 yards on 16 targets in two games since returning from a four-game absence due to an ankle injury.

Henderson will try to shed his illness and return to practice Friday. If he's unable to practice without limitations Friday, the 2025 second-round pick would likely take an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Henderson has struggled to earn playing time in recent weeks, splitting change-of-pace work behind Rhamondre Stevenson with Corey Kiner.

The Patriots are remaining cautious with Brown, who is apparently nursing a knee issue in addition to getting continued maintenance for the high-ankle sprain that kept him out for four games. Brown was limited in two practices ahead of a Thursday night game against the Bears but still played 92 percent of the offensive snaps in the 30-24 loss. A similar rep-management plan could be in place for Brown going into Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Vera-Tucker suffered a hamstring injury in the team's Week 6 win over the Jets, and he will now be forced to miss at least four contests while recovering. In his absence, Walter Rouse will take over as the team's starting left tackle Thursday night versus the Bears.

This has become the routine for Morton, who has worked as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback every week so far this season. The role has yet to land the rookie QB any game reps, and he'll be eligible to enter Thursday's contest only if both quarterbacks ahead of him (Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito) are forced to exit due to injury, illness or ejection.

Brown injured his knee during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 26-19 win over the Jets. He was held out of all three practices during Week 7 prep, and with both Brown and Alijah Vera-Tucker (hamstring) sidelined Thursday, the Patriots will likely turn to Matt Pryor and Walter Rouse to serve as the starting guards against Chicago. Brown will aim to recover enough to return for Week 8 against Miami on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Davis did not participate in Monday's practice but ended the Patriots' short Week 7 prep with back-to-back limited sessions. Despite the upgrade in practice participation, the cornerback is not quite ready to return to the field and will miss his third consecutive game with a neck injury. Charles Woods should once again start opposite Christian Gonzalez at outside cornerback.

Canada, Carlton Davis (neck) and Karon Prunty (hamstring) will all be sidelined for Thursday night's contest, which leaves Christian Gonzalez and Charles Woods as the starters at outside cornerback while Kindle Vildor and Elliott Davison provide depth. It will be the fourth consecutive game that Canada will miss due to a hamstring injury, and his next chance to return is Week 8 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Prunty will be sidelined for a third-straight game due to a hamstring injury that he picked up during the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Bills.

Prunty's next chance to play is Week 8 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Brown returned from a four-game absence this past Sunday against the Jets. He's been limited in each of the first two sessions of Week 7 prep, and the veteran wide receiver told reporters after Tuesday's practice that his ankle is "feeling good," per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. Wednesday's injury report should clarify whether the Patriots' top WR will be fully cleared for Thursday night's game against the Bears.

Bryant has opened the week with back-to-back full sessions with the Patriots, and he may be trending toward a return to action in the near future. The offensive lineman has missed the entirety of the 2026 campaign to this point after picking up an ankle injury during the preseason, but the team opened his 21-day practice window Wednesday. With New England traveling to face the Bears on Thursday, Bryant may not be ready to go in advance of Week 7, but Wednesday's injury report will provide more clarity toward his status.

Moses sustained an ankle injury during the team's Week 6 win against the Jets and has now opened the week with back-to-back limited sessions. The offensive lineman will have one more chance to log a full practice before the team travels to face the Bears on Thursday Night Football.

Davis has not practiced since sustaining his neck injury, and that remained the case to start Week 7 prep. If the cornerback cannot get on the practice field by Wednesday's session, he'll have almost no chance of suiting up for the Patriots' Thursday night game against the Bears.

With Doubs already on injured reserve, this report offers a more encouraging timeline after Sunday's shoulder injury.

Efton Chism and Kyle Williams will be in line for increased snaps alongside A.J. Brown and slot man DeMario Douglas with Doubs sidelined.

Vera-Tucker sustained a hamstring injury in the second quarter of Sunday's contest. The left guard's absence has shifted the Patriots' offensive line around, leaving Ben Brown at left guard and Matt Pryor at right guard.

Morton remains the third option at quarterback behind starter Drake Maye and backup Tommy DeVito. The seventh-round rookie will only enter Sunday's contest if both Maye and DeVito cannot return to the game.

Brown suffered a knee injury in the fourth quarter and has since been downgraded to out. Walter Rouse entered the contest and will presumably fill the void for the remainder of the game.

After suffering an ankle injury in Sunday's meeting with the Jets, Moses didn't return. With the short turnaround for the Patriots ahead of Thursday's game against the Bears, the 35-year-old may not have time to recover and play. For now, Moses should at least be considered questionable, but if he can't suit up, Caleb Lomu may operate in his place.

Doubs was injured on his 42-yard TD catch in the first quarter, after which he went to the sideline tent, and eventually, the locker room. A shoulder issue was the cause for his exit and will keep him out for the rest of Week 6. A.J. Brown, DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism and Kyle Williams are the Patriots' remaining healthy and available wide receivers.

inactive

Even though he's still questionable, the fact that Brown was activated from IR indicates that the veteran wide receiver will be on the field for Sunday's AFC East showdown. Brown has fully recovered from a right ankle sprain that he sustained in Week 1 against the Seahawks, and he will serve as Drake Maye's top target in the passing game.

Campbell was limited in practice all week by an MCL sprain in his right knee, which he sustained against the Raiders in Week 5. If he cannot play Sunday, then Caleb Lomu would likely start at left tackle.

Davis has not practiced since aggravating a neck injury in the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Bills. The cornerback remains without a set return timeline, and it is unclear how much longer he will be unable to practice.

Prunty has not practiced since sustaining a hamstring injury in the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Bills. The cornerback missed Week 5 and will now miss Week 6 due to the injury. Even if Prunty were to return, Christian Gonzalez and Charles Woods would likely be the starting duo at outside cornerback.

It was reported earlier in the week that Henderson was facing a multi-week absence due to a high-ankle sprain, and while he was indeed diagnosed with the more severe ankle issue, he was able to practice this week and will have a chance to take the field in Week 6.

Brown has logged a pair of limited practice sessions since being designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. He said Thursday that his availability for Sunday's game against the Jets is "up in the air." The decision regarding whether to play is out of Brown's hands, as his availability will be determined by head coach Mike Vrabel in consultation with team doctors. Brown has once more chance remaining to upgrade to full participation Friday before New England releases Week 6 injury designations. He would need to be added back onto the active roster before being eligible to play.

questionable

Henderson has been limited in back-to-back practice sessions to kick off Week 6 prep. He'll likely need to upgrade to full participation Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's home game against the Jets, in which second place in the AFC East will be on the line. Corey Kiner would be in line for change-of-pace work behind Rhamondre Stevenson if Henderson sits.

The Patriots designated Brown for return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday, opening up a 21-day window wherein the star wideout can be evaluated for a return to the active roster. Though Brown operated with a cap on his reps in his first practice session since Week 1, he could be a candidate to be activated ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets. The Patriots will see if Brown can upgrade to full practice participation Thursday or Friday before making a decision on his status heading into the weekend.

Woods exited the Patriots' Week 5 win over the Raiders early with a shoulder injury and did not return. The cornerback likely aggravated a pre-existing issue in the contest but was still able to suit up for practice Wednesday. Woods played through the injury to start the Week 5 contest and will likely do the same for Week 6 against the Jets unless Carlton Davis (neck) and Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) are healthy enough to reclaim their starting spots at outside cornerback.

Jones exited the Patriots' Week 5 win over the Raiders in the fourth quarter with a shoulder injury. The linebacker was questionable to return to the contest but was unable to get back on the field before the game concluded. Jones already participating in practice may mean the injury is not that significant. If the 29-year-old keeps participating in practice, he should suit up for Sunday's game against the Jets.

questionable

Bryant suffered an ankle injury in the preseason. The offensive tackle has served his regular-season, four-game minimum on IR and is ready to return to the field. Bryant was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, and the Patriots have until Nov. 4 to return him to the active roster, or he will finish the 2026 season on IR.

After Henderson was diagnosed with a right high-ankle sprain coming out of Sunday's win over the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Tuesday that the second-year running back would avoid surgery but was expected to miss multiple weeks. While that could still be the case, Henderson's involvement in practice Wednesday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- suggests that the Patriots haven't yet ruled him out from playing Week 6 against the Jets. However, in the more likely event that Henderson ends up sitting out this Sunday, Rhamondre Stevenson would be in store for a larger share of the touches out of the backfield, while Corey Kiner would serve as the top complement to Stevenson.

Henderson sustained the injury in the second quarter of Sunday's 45-17 win over the Raiders and was unable to return. Schefter notes that Henderson won't need surgery to address the ankle sprain, so the running back may be able to avoid a stint on injured reserve and the automatic four-game absence that comes with it. Even so, Henderson still looks poised to be sidelined for at least a couple of contests, which will clear the way for Rhamondre Stevenson to take on a heightened role out of the backfield. Corey Kiner will also be in line for increased snaps as the top change-of-pace option behind Stevenson while Henderson is out of the mix.

doubtful

After landing on injured reserve following the Patriots' season-opening loss to the Seahawks, Brown now has missed the required four games and is eligible for activation beginning this week. Before the Patriots consider adding him back to the 53-man roster, however, Brown will need to have his 21-day practice window opened. The wideout was spotted walking without a limp last week, which suggests that he's made good progress in his recovery from a right high-ankle sprain and may be ready to mix into drills. If Brown ends up getting cleared to practice this week and looks good during his on-field work, he could be a realistic candidate to suit up this Sunday versus the Jets.

Henderson carried four times for 22 yards and recorded 16 receiving yards before exiting with just over 12 minutes left in the second quarter after injuring an ankle. Following Henderson's exit, Corey Kiner stepped in as the top complement to Rhamondre Stevenson, finishing the afternoon with six carries for 52 yards and a lost fumble. The Patriots didn't provide many details regarding the extent of Henderson's injury after the game, but the upcoming tests should shed more light on the matter. For now, Henderson can be considered questionable heading into the Patriots' Week 6 game against the Jets on Sunday.

Effectively, the rookie seventh-rounder is not allowed to play unless both Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Woods overcame a shoulder injury to play in Sunday's contest. The cornerback may have aggravated the injury during the course of the game, making it uncertain how significant the injury remains.

He'll finish the afternoon with 22 yards on four carries to go with one catch for 16 yards. With Henderson sidelined for the rest of the contest, the Patriots will be left with Corey Kiner as their lone option behind No. 1 back Rhamondre Stevenson.

Campbell sustained the injury in the first half and will undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm the diagnosis. The 22-year-old will likely miss action moving forward, and, in his absence, Caleb Lomu is a top candidate to fill in as the team's starting left tackle.

Hollins was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a calf injury, which is severe enough for the veteran wide receiver to require a stint on IR. As such, Hollins is prohibited from playing for at least the next four games, so the next time he can play is Week 9 against the Packers on Sunday, Nov. 8. Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism and Kyle Williams will all have expanded roles on offense in Hollins' absence, though the Patriots could have A.J. Brown (ankle) back in the fold over the coming weeks.

Gilliam will be sidelined for a minimum of four games. The fullback has logged 58 offensive snaps through the first four weeks of the season, with another 39 on special teams.

Davis was held out of practice all week due to a neck injury, slimming down a Patriots secondary that will also be without Christian Gonzalez (shoulder), Channing Canada (hamstring) and rookie Karon Prunty (hamstring), with Charles Woods (shoulder) and Craig Woodson (shoulder) listed as questionable. Woods would presumably be one of the starting outside cornerbacks if cleared to play Sunday, but with Davis and Gonzalez both sidelined, the Patriots may have to turn to Marcus Jones, Mike Brown, Jaylen Reed or another defensive back from the practice squad to fill in the second starting spot. Davis' next opportunity to play is Week 6 against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 18.

Canada will be sidelined by a hamstring injury for a second consecutive game, and his next opportunity to return is Week 6 against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 18. Injuries have decimated the Patriots' secondary, which will also be without Christian Gonzalez (shoulder), Carlton Davis (neck) and Karon Prunty (hamstring).

The Patriots' secondary is already without starting outside corners Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) and Carlton Davis (neck), so having Woods available for Sunday's game would be a big help for New England. Woods has 18 tackles (14 solo) and one pass defense through four regular-season games.

A shoulder injury prevented Barmore from playing in the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Bills. He opened Week 5 prep with back-to-back limited practices before logging a full session Friday, but whether he can play Sunday may not be officially known until about 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Patriots announce their list of inactive players. His return would revert Joshua Farmer and DaQuan Jones to rotational roles at defensive end, with Milton Williams being the other starter at the position.

Elliss was able to play through a chest injury against the Bills in Week 4, and he's drawn the questionable tag for Week 5 after stringing together a trio of limited practices. If he cannot play against Las Vegas, then Darius Muasau and Erick Hunter would be the top candidates to start next to Robert Spillane at inside linebacker.

Gonzalez will be held out for a second straight week due to a shoulder injury, which prevented him from practicing during Week 5 prep. Carlton Davis (neck), Karon Prunty (hamstring) and Channing Canada (hamstring) have also been ruled out, so the Patriots may have to start Charles Woods (shouler) and Marcus Jones at outside cornerback against the Raiders on Sunday.

Woodson picked up a shoulder injury against the Steelers in Week 2, which prevented him from playing in Week 3 against the Jaguars. He was cleared for Week 4 against the Bills, but the second-year safety is still not fully recovered from his injury, and his limited practice participation was enough for him to be tagged as questionable for Sunday's game. Jaylen Reed would likely start next to Kevin Byard at safety if Woodson doesn't play.

Jones has been working through a shoulder issue for the past couple of weeks, and he's drawn the questionable tag for Sunday's game after being limited in practice all week. Rookie second-rounder Gabe Jacas would take on an elevated role against the Raiders if Jones is not cleared to play.

Prunty didn't practice all week due to a hamstring injury, which he likely picked up during the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Bills. The rookie fifth-rounder's next chance to play is Week 6 against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 18, and his absence means the Patriots will have one less contributor on special teams.

With Hollins unavailable, Romeo Doubs looks like New England's clear No. 1 receiver. DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism and Kyle Williams could all have increased roles in Hollins' absence.

Gilliam was able to play through an ankle injury that he picked up during the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Bills, but he ended Week 5 prep with back-to-back DNPs while dealing with that issue and a new knee injury. The Patriots don't have another fullback on the active roster nor the practice squad, so they could turn to tight ends like Eli Raridon, Cameron Latu and Tanner Arkin to serve as backfield blockers in Gilliam's absence. Gilliam's next chance to suit up is Week 6 against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 18.

After logging limited practice listings throughout the week, Stevenson gets the dreaded questionable tag headed into Sunday. While the running back said himself that he's ready to play, coach Mike Vrabel refused to commit to Stevenson doing so versus Las Vegas. TreVeyon Henderson will be set up for a big increase in snaps and touches if Stevenson is unable to play.

Hollins appears to be missing a second consecutive practice ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Raiders. If Hollins is unable to suit up Sunday, Efton Chism could work alongside Romeo Doubs and DeMario Douglas in three-receiver, while Hollins' strong blocking may be missed in the running game.

A limited participant in both of the Patriots' first two Week 5 practices, Stevenson still appears to be managing the knee issue he sustained late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Bills. The fact that he hasn't been held out of practice entirely is a strong sign that Stevenson will be available for this Sunday's matchup with the Raiders, though he might need to upgrade to full participation Friday to head into the weekend without an injury designation.

When Brown came out of Week 1 with a right high-ankle sprain, he was expected to be sidelined for up to six weeks, but his placement on IR before Week 2 action means he's eligible to return to practice as soon as next week. That doesn't mean he actually will be, but being able to move about sans limp generally is a good sign in his recovery and could mean practice reps are on the horizon for the Patriots' No. 1 wide receiver.

Hollins was injured in last Sunday's win over the Bills and remains in question for Week 5 against the Raiders, one of Hollins' other former teams. If he can't play, the Patriots will lean on Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams and Efton Chism to handle most of the snaps at wide receiver.

Stevenson looked to have injured his leg or knee near the end of Sunday's win over the Bills, but the Patriots' first Week 5 injury report will be released later Wednesday and provide more clarity on the nature of his health concern. Vrabel expressed some optimism that Stevenson can still play during this Sunday's game against the Raiders, but if Stevenson can't go, TreVeyon Henderson would be set up for a heftier workload as the clear lead back for New England.

Hollins recorded three catches for 53 yards on four targets before exiting in the third quarter of Sunday's 29-26 win over the Bills due to the calf issue. The Patriots listed Hollins as questionable to return at the time of his departure, but he never ended up checking back into the contest. More information on the severity of Hollins' injury should be known in the next day or two, but if he ends up being unavailable for next Sunday's game against the Raiders, more reps would be opened up for Efton Chism, who helped fill in for Hollins in the fourth quarter and made an acrobatic 23-yard touchdown grab with just under two minutes remaining to seal the win over Buffalo.

Ethan Hurwitz of Patriots on SI reported Woods suffered a stinger, though the 24-year-old stated, "he's feeling great." However, despite the positive update, he could carry an injury designation heading into the Week 5 meeting with the Raiders. Woods had 16 total tackles (13 solo) and one pass defended in the first three games of the 2026 campaign.

Raridon didn't play in Week 3 against the Jaguars due to a hamstring injury. However, an ankle injury could mean he won't be back in Week 4. If Raridon can't return, Cameron Latu could see more work behind Hunter Henry.

Van Roten sustained a thigh injury during the Patriots' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars in Week 3. The injury is severe enough for him to miss at least the next four games, so the earliest he can return is for Week 8 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 1. With both Van Roten and Mike Onwenu (ankle) on IR, the Patriots will turn to either Ben Brown or Walter Rouse to serve as the starting right guard for Week 4 against the Bills, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

Kyles noted that Brown was wearing cleats, which could hint that he was able to do some on-field exercises. After being placed on injured reserve Sept. 12, Brown won't be eligible to start practicing with his teammates until Week 6, but the wideout at least seems to be making good progress in his recovery from the high-ankle sprain he sustained in the season-opening loss to the Seahawks.

Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito are both active, meaning Morton won't be able to enter the game unless both of his teammates exit the contest due to injury, illness or ejeciton.

If Barmore can't return to the Week 3 meeting versus the Jaguars, it could mean more work for Joshua Farmer and Jeremiah Pharms.

Woodson only saw the practice field this week for a limited session on Friday, so it's not too surprising to see the second-year safety end up on the shelf. Jaylen Reed and Mike Brown are candidates to see extra snaps in the secondary in Woodson's stead.

Raridon saw the field for 36 snaps in Week 1, but his Week 2 showing was cut short due to his thigh injury. After sitting out practice Thursday and Friday, the rookie will ultimately miss his first career game, paving the way for Cameron Latu and Tanner Arkin to work in a reserve capacity behind starting tight end Hunter Henry.

Walter Rouse has taken over at right guard with Van Roten -- who was in for the injured Mike Onwenu (ankle, IR) -- being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game.

Hutchins appeared in both of the Patriots' first two games of the 2026 campaign, accumulating three total tackles. The rookie will now miss at least four games while tending to a knee injury. While Hutchins has played sparingly, his absence will still allow Gabe Jacas and Jose Ramirez to see a little more action.

Schooler can now return to practice but won't be eligible to appear in a game until Week 5 due to being on the reserve/non-football injury list. Once officially activated, the 29-year-old should contribute as a depth defender.

Pettus exited the second quarter of Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers with an ankle injury, and he'll now have to miss at least the next four games while on IR. With Craig Woodson (shoulder) also injured, the team will likely look to sign or elevate a player from the practice squad for Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Jaguars.

Onwenu suffered a broken right ankle in the Patriots' win over the Steelers on Sunday, and he appears likely to miss the remainder of the 2026 season. Greg Van Roten is likely the next man up at right guard for New England.

Davis was listed as questionable after Friday's practice. The cornerback was unable to practice at all in Week 2, making it unsurprising that he will be incapable of suiting up for Sunday's contest. Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports that Charles Woods is likely the next man up at outside cornerback.

Crownover missed all three practice sessions during Week 2 prep with a new knee injury. The rookie sixth-rounder will leave the Patriots thin on the offensive line as they head into a matchup with a Steelers defense that held the Falcons to 13 points in Week 1.

Jones was a limited participant in all three practice sessions this week due to a foot injury, which he may have picked up during the Patriots' Week 1 loss to the Seahawks, when he logged two tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks. Rookies Gabe Jacas and Quintayvious Hutchins would both operate in elevated roles at the edge rusher position if Jones is not cleared to play against Pittsburgh.

Davis missed just one defensive snap of the Patriots' 13-10 loss to the Seahawks last Wednesday, playing the other 49 and logging three tackles (two solo). The cornerback is dealing with a neck injury, and if he cannot upgrade to at least limited practice participation by Thursday, he will likely miss next Sunday's game against the Steelers.

questionable

Spillane likely suffered his knee injury during last Wednesday's 13-10 loss to the Seahawks. The Patriots' starting linebacker finished the night with eight tackles (seven solo). Spillane played all 50 of the team's defensive snaps in the contest, meaning he either played through the issue or suffered it during Wednesday's session.

questionable

Henderson missed practice all last week leading up to Wednesday's season-opening loss to the Seahawks, but he's now had an additional four days to recover and appears to have a good chance to make his 2026 debut Sunday against the Steelers. Rhamondre Stevenson slogged his way to 2.8 yards per carry in Week 1 against Seattle, while Corey Kiner filled in as the RB2 and rushed for 11 yards on six carries.

The Patriots deactivated Brown just three days after he sustained the injury in the third quarter of Wednesday's 13-10 loss to the Seahawks. Though recovery timelines for high-ankle sprains often range from 4-to-6 weeks, the Patriots quickly determined that Brown's injury is "a little more serious," which likely takes a return from IR in Week 6 when first eligible off the table. While their No. 1 wideout is sidelined until early November, the Patriots will have to lean more heavily on Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas, Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams as their primary receivers.

nfi-r

Brown was part of the team's roster cuts on Aug. 31 but eventually re-signed with the Patriots a day later. Once healthy, he will serve as the New England's backup center behind Jared Wilson.

Henderson has been DNP all week leading up to Wednesday's season opener in Seattle, and it's looking extremely unlikely that he's going to play Week 1. The Patriots have one more practice report to issue Tuesday, and it's at least notable that Henderson traveled with the team to Seattle, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. If the second-year running back is unable to play, Rhamondre Stevenson would be looking at a potential workhorse role, as Corey Kiner is the only other running back on the active roster. Lan Larison is on the practice squad as a likely elevation.

Baringer suffered an injury during the Patriots' 24-21 preseason win over the Eagles and has not practiced since the incident. The punter will need to miss the first four games of the regular season on IR before he is eligible to return to the active roster. The Patriots signed punter Mitch Wishnowsky to the practice squad Monday, and he's expected to fill in during Baringer's absence.

Jacobs participated in the first two preseason games for the Patriots before succumbing to injury, accumulating eight tackles (four solo). The linebacker will need to miss the first four games of the regular season on IR before he is eligible to return to the active roster. While Jacobs is sidelined, Darius Muasau will likely be the first depth option behind starting inside linebackers Christian Elliss and Robert Spillane.

Landry spent the entirety of training camp and the preseason on the active/PUP list with an undisclosed injury. The 30-year-old will now be sidelined for at least four contests to open the 2026 campaign, and the earliest he'd be able to return to action is Week 5 against the Raiders on Oct. 11. In his absence, Elijah Ponder is a top candidate to start opposite of Dre'Mont Jones at outside linebacker.

Iton missed all of last season while on IR due to a hip injury, though it's unclear if his current issue is related. The Rutgers product did play in all three of the Patriots' preseason contests, but he was waived/injured Sunday. Since he cleared waivers and reverted to IR, Iton will need to sit out the entire 2026 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement with New England.

Bryant suffered an ankle injury during the Patriots' second preseason game Saturday, Aug. 22 against the Eagles. The injury is severe enough for the second-year pro to open the regular season on IR, meaning he'll be required to miss at least the first four games of the regular season. Bryant did not start in any of the 12 regular-season games he appeared in last year, and in his absence, the likes of Caleb Lomu, Walter Rouse and Dametrious Crownover will provide depth at offensive tackle behind Morgan Moses and Will Campbell.

It was reported last Thursday that Schooler was close to being activated off the NFI list prior to cutdown day. The free safety is evidently not quite ready to rejoin the team and will now need to miss at least the first four weeks of the regular season. Kevin Byard is set to open the Week 1 game against the Seahawks as the starting free safety for the Patriots.

questionable

Schooler was placed on the non-football injury list in late July and has not yet participated in team activities. If the free safety is not ready to be activated by Sunday, he will be required to miss at least the first four games of the regular season on injured reserve.

Landry opened training camp on the active/PUP list in late July. The starting linebacker has a chance to be activated before Sunday's cutdown, but if he isn't, he will be forced to sit out at least the first four games of the regular season on injured reserve. If Landry is unavailable Week 1 against the Seahawks, Gabe Jacas or Bradyn Swinson will likely start opposite Dre'Mont Jones on the edge.

It was believed that Henderson was dealing with only a minor right ankle issue, and the latest report confirms that and signals that he will not miss any time during the regular season. As such, Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson figure to open the campaign in a timeshare in New England's backfield.

Baringer punted twice for 91 yards before being pulled from Saturday's exhibition contest with an undisclosed injury, putting him in jeopardy of missing the Patriots' Week 1 clash against the Seahawks on Wednesday, Sept. 9. Matt Haack was signed by the Patriots on Monday to serve as the team's punter in Baringer's absence, per Reiss.

Bryant sustained the injury on the Patriots' first offensive drive of the game. He had to be helped off the field by trainers before going to the locker room, where he'll undergo more tests to determine the severity of his injury. Dametrious Crownover has taken over at right tackle for Bryant.

Hutchins played 45 percent of the defensive snaps, looking to move up the depth chart just enough to make the Patriots' 53-man roster. The rookie seventh-rounder has shown promise and could see some regular-season depth reps depending on the severity of Harold Landry's (undisclosed) injury.

After injuring his hamstring on July 28, Davis returned to the New England practice field Monday on a limited basis, making it likely that he avoided a severe tear. The 29-year-old is once again in line to be one of the starting outside cornerbacks for a top-performing Patriots defense alongside Christian Gonzalez. Davis will look to continue his solid defensive play from 2025, when he recorded 69 tackles and 10 pass deflections across 17 regular-season games.

Hutchins suffered an injury at rookie minicamp in early May. It is unclear if Thursday's injury is related to that issue, but regardless, the seventh-round pick has consistently missed time since being drafted. If the linebacker cannot remain healthy moving forward, his chances of making the 53-man roster may be in jeopardy.

Webb's move to injured reserve comes after the 25-year-old sustained an arm injury during Saturday's practice. He now will be forced to miss the entirety of the upcoming campaign unless he's waived with an injury settlement.

Kibble is set to remain with the Patriots despite having previously been waived. The rookie undrafted free agent will now be forced to miss the entirety of the upcoming campaign unless he's waived with an injury settlement.

Schooler will be able to take part in meetings while he deals with the undisclosed issue, but will not be able to practice until he is removed from the injury list. The safety can begin practicing as soon as he has been deemed capable by training staff.

The nature and severity of Landry's injury is unclear, but it's severe enough for the veteran pass rusher to miss out on practice time. Because he's on the PUP list, Landry would be eligible to return to practice and preseason games at any time during training camp. After spending the first six years of his NFL career with the Titans, the Boston College product finished the 2025 season with 49 tackles (27 solo), including 8.5 sacks, and one forced fumble across 15 regular-season games for the Patriots.
