Full practice Tuesday
Tue, Oct 20, 2026, 7:30 PM
Bryant (ankle) was a full participant at the Patriots' practice Tuesday.
Analysis: Bryant has opened the week with back-to-back full sessions with the Patriots, and he may be trending towards 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 towards his status. |

Limited Tuesday
Tue, Oct 20, 2026, 7:24 PM
Moses (ankle) was a limited participant at the Patriots' practice Tuesday.
Analysis: Moses sustained an ankle injury during the team's Week 6 win against the Jets, and he 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. |

Probably won't be available Thursday
Tue, Oct 20, 2026, 7:22 PM
Coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday that Vera-Tucker (hamstring) is unlikely to be available for Thursday's game at Chicago, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Vrabel did not rule Vera-Tucker out completely, but it looks like he's likely in line to sit out his first game of the 2026 season due to the hamstring injury he suffered during Sunday's game versus the Jets. Regular starting right guard Ben Brown (knee) is also looking like a bad bet to suit up in Week 7, and if both he and Vera-Tucker are sidelined, 2024 sixth-rounder Walter Rouse and veteran Matt Pryor would project as the Patriots' starting guards for Thursday. |

Unlikely to play at Chicago
Tue, Oct 20, 2026, 7:13 PM
Coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday that Brown (knee) probably won't be available for Thursday's game against the Bears, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Vrabel stopped short of ruling out Brown completely, but it seems like it will be an uphill battle for him to try to be ready to play in Week 7. With regular starting left guard Alijah Vera-Tucker (hamstring) also trending in the wrong direction ahead of Thursday's contest, 2024 sixth-rounder Walter Rouse and veteran Matt Pryor might both be called on to start against a defense that has flashed at times so far this year. |

Limited in Tuesday's practice
Tue, Oct 20, 2026, 6:41 PM
Davis (neck) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
Analysis: Davis has missed the Patriots' last two games due to a neck injury, but it was a promising sign to see him on the field for Tuesday's practice, even in a limited capacity. The Patriots will announce injury designations following Wednesday's practice, at which point Davis' status for Thursday's game against the Bears will be clearer. If he's not cleared to return, then Charles Woods likely will remain the Patriots' second starting outside cornerback opposite Christian Gonzalez. |
A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Remains listed as limited Tuesday
Tue, Oct 20, 2026, 5:01 PM
Brown (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice report.
Analysis: 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. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown On practice field Tuesday
Tue, Oct 20, 2026, 2:42 PM
Brown (ankle) was spotted on the practice field Tuesday, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.
Analysis: Brown, who returned from a four-game absence this past Sunday against the Jets, was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report. It remains to be seen how the Patriots list his Tuesday participation level, but at this stage there's no reason to believe that the wideout's availability for Thursday night's game against the Bears is in any danger. |
Andy Borregales Andy Borregales Connects on four of five kicks
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 10:00 PM
Borregales made both of his field-goal attempts and went 2-for-3 on extra-point tries during the Patriots' 26-19 win over the Jets on Sunday.
Analysis: All of Borregales' kick attempts came from within 35 yards, with his longest field goal coming from 32 yards. He missed his first extra point of the season, and through six games he has gone 8-for-10 on field-goal attempts and 14-for-15 on extra-point tries. The Patriots will operate on a short practice week ahead of Thursday's road tilt against the Bears. |
Corey Kiner Corey Kiner Logs 11 carries in victory
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 8:15 PM
Kiner rushed 11 times for 57 yards while also adding 88 yards as a kick returner during Sunday's 26-19 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Kiner stepped into a more prominent role in the backfield behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson in Week 6. With Henderson limited by an ankle injury, Kiner was able to log four more carries than Henderson (seven). Additionally, Kiner averaged 5.2 yards per carry, which was double the 2.6 YPC that Stevenson produced over 14 totes. It's unclear what role Kiner will play when Henderson is back to full health, but he certainly proved he can be productive with an increased workload. |

DNP during estimated practice
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 7:32 PM
Davis (neck) did not participate in Monday's estimated practice.
Analysis: Davis has not practiced since sustaining his neck injury, and that will not change for the first injury report of Week 7. 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. |
|
A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Limited on Monday's practice estimate
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 7:12 PM
Brown (ankle) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report.
Analysis: In his return from a four-game absence Sunday against the Jets, Brown was targeted 10 times but hauled in only three of them for 27 yards. It appears he's still bothered by his previous right ankle sprain, as evidenced by a capped walkthrough Monday, but he still has two more chances to get back to full this week before potentially being tagged with a designation for Thursday's contest at Chicago. |
Romeo Doubs Romeo Doubs Expected back after bye
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 6:53 PM
Doubs (shoulder) is hopeful to return after the Patriots' Week 11 bye and isn't expected to face a long-term absence, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: 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. |

Romeo Doubs Romeo Doubs Goes on IR, out four games
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 3:33 PM
The Patriots placed Doubs (shoulder) on injured reserve Monday.
Analysis: Just after welcoming A.J. Brown back from IR in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Jets, the Patriots will have another starting wideout in Doubs land on the shelf for at least the next four games. Doubs sustained the shoulder injury while making a diving 42-yard touchdown grab in the first quarter, with the Patriots ruling him out for the rest of the game shortly thereafter. Though the extent of his shoulder injury isn't fully known, Doubs won't be eligible for activation until after the team's Week 11 bye as a result of the transaction. Doubs' upcoming absence should open up more playing time for DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism and Kyle Williams behind Brown. |
TreVeyon Henderson TreVeyon Henderson Plays through ankle sprain
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 3:22 AM
Henderson (ankle) rushed seven times for 31 yards and brought in his only target for nine yards in the Patriots' 26-19 win over the Jets on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Henderson beat the odds by suiting up for Sunday's contest despite what has been reported to be a high-ankle sprain. He was just five yards short of backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson's rushing total despite seeing half the carries, but Henderson's mid-third-quarter fumble did lead to a Jets field goal. Henderson now has a quick turnaround for a Week 7 road matchup against the Bears on Thursday night, so it appears likely he slots into a complementary role again for that contest. |
Rhamondre Stevenson Rhamondre Stevenson Stonewalled by Jets in win
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 3:18 AM
Stevenson rushed 14 times for 36 yards and wasn't targeted in the Patriots' 26-19 win over the Jets on Sunday.
Analysis: Stevenson saw twice the rushing workload of backfield mate TreVeyon Henderson but gained only five more yards. Stevenson also recorded 12 of his yards on one carry, so he ran for next to nothing on his other 13 rush attempts in what was his second-least productive game on the ground this season. Henderson did lose a fumble Sunday and is managing what is reportedly a high-ankle sprain, so Stevenson is likely to remain the lead option during a Week 7 road matchup against the Bears on Thursday night. |
Hunter Henry Hunter Henry Scores again in Week 6 win
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 8:00 PM
Henry caught four of five targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Henry's seven-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter proved to be the game-winning score, putting New England ahead 23-16. After not finding the end zone the first four weeks of the season, Henry has scored in back-to-back games. The veteran tight end has shown no ceiling, as he's been held under 50 yards receiving in five of six contests. He's the definition of a touchdown-or-bust fantasy bet ahead of Thursday's game with the Bears. |
DeMario Douglas DeMario Douglas Paces team in receiving in Week 6 win
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 7:47 PM
Douglas caught seven of eight targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Jets.
Analysis: A.J. Brown returned to the lineup from his ankle injury and led the team with 10 targets, but he dropped multiple passes and finished with a 3-27-0 receiving line. After Romeo Doubs left with a shoulder injury early in the first half following a long touchdown grab, Douglas stepped into an increased offensive role. He ran 26 routes on Drake Maye's 35 dropbacks, and Douglas caught a nine-yard touchdown in the second quarter. He's posted back-to-back big box scores after logging 4-65-2 receiving last Sunday against Las Vegas. The Patriots' slot man doesn't have a big fantasy ceiling but looks like a passable WR4 during bye-week crunches headed into Thursday night's game against the Bears. |

Leaves in walking boot
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 3:43 PM
Moses (ankle) was spotted wearing a walking boot after Sunday's 26-19 win over the Jets, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: 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. |
|
Won't return Sunday
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 2:58 PM
Brown (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: 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. |
|
Won't return Sunday
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 2:40 PM
Moses (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: Moses suffered an ankle injury in the first half of Sunday's game. Caleb Lomu will likely maintain his spot at right tackle for the remainder of the contest. |
