Romeo Doubs Romeo Doubs Logs three catches in Week 3 loss
Mon, Sep 28, 2026, 7:18 PM
Doubs hauled in three of four targets for 49 yards during the Patriots' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: Doubs finished second on the Patriots in both catches and receiving yards to Mack Hollins, the latter of whom finished with a 6-87-0 receiving line on nine targets. Doubs and Hollins will continue to operate as Drake Maye's top targets in the absence of A.J. Brown (ankle), who will miss at least the next two weeks while on injured reserve. Doubs will take a 6-145-0 receiving line on 11 targets into a Week 4 road matchup against Buffalo. |

Hunter Henry Hunter Henry Only one catch in blowout loss
Mon, Sep 28, 2026, 7:09 PM
Henry caught one pass on two targets for five yards during the Patriots' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: The Patriots offense struggled as a whole Sunday, with Drake Maye completing 14 of 25 passes (8.0 YPC) for 199 yards and two interceptions. Even with A.J. Brown (ankle, IR) sidelined for the last two weeks, Henry has logged just four catches for 45 yards on seven targets, and he's well behind pace to match his 60-768-7 receiving line (on 87 targets) across 17 regular-season games in 2025. Up next is a Week 4 road tilt against the Bills, whose defense held Chargers tight end Oronde Gadsden catchless on three targets in a Week 3 win for Buffalo. |

Andy Borregales Andy Borregales Makes pair of kicks in Week 3 loss
Mon, Sep 28, 2026, 6:26 PM
Borregales converted two of three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 35-6 loss to the Jaguars.
Analysis: Borregales accounted for New England's scoring with 35- and 40-yard field goals but missed one from 38 yards in the third quarter. The second-year kicked has had a bit of a shaky start to the 2026 season, making just five of seven field-goal tries while going 3-for-3 on extra points. Kicking in an offense that is struggling to score points, Borregales isn't a recommended fantasy kicker ahead of next Sunday's date with the Bills. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Seemingly making progress with ankle
Mon, Sep 28, 2026, 12:01 PM
Brown was spotted Monday in the Patriots' locker room walking without a limp and wearing a small wrap on his injured right ankle, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports.
Analysis: 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. |

Mack Hollins Mack Hollins Six catches during defeat
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 10:26 PM
Hollins caught six of nine targets for 87 yards during Sunday's 35-6 loss to the Jaguars.
Analysis: Hollins saw nearly twice as many targets as the next closest option DeMario Douglas (5), and his 87 yards were his highest total in a regular-season contest since Week 10 of the 2025 campaign. With A.J. Brown (ankle) on injured reserve, someone will have to take the reigns as the Patriots' top option at wide receiver, and Hollins certainly showed he's capable of handling a larger workload in Week 3. |

Rhamondre Stevenson Rhamondre Stevenson Subdued numbers in Week 3 loss
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 7:50 PM
Stevenson rushed seven times for 22 yards and brought in all three targets for 16 yards in the Patriots' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: As was the case with backfield mate TreVeyon Henderson, Stevenson saw his opportunities on the ground capped to an extent by a game script that saw the Patriots already down 11 by halftime and 25 heading into the fourth quarter. Stevenson was just one carry and rushing yard apiece behind Henderson's workload on the ground, and both backs will look to be more involved in a key Week 4 road matchup against the Bills next Sunday. |

TreVeyon Henderson TreVeyon Henderson Stymied in Week 3 loss
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 7:47 PM
Henderson rushed eight times for 23 yards and brought in his only target for six yards in the Patriots' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: Playing in his second game of the season, Henderson led the Patriots in carries and rushing yards, but each of those figures were only one more than those generated by backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson. Henderson had a much more efficient showing in his Week 2 season debut with a 16-carry, 76-yard, one-touchdown showing against the Steelers, but game script had a significant impact on the volume for both of the Patriots' backs Sunday. Henderson will look to get back on track in a key Week 4 road divisional matchup against the Bills next Sunday. |

Drake Maye Drake Maye Mistake-filled afternoon in loss
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 5:01 PM
Maye completed 14 of 25 passes for 199 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions and added four carries for 18 yards in the Patriots' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles, losing one.
Analysis: Maye's rough afternoon also included three sacks, and the multi-interception tally was already his second of the first three games of the new season. The 2024 first-round pick was able to lead his team to only two field goals, and two of his three turnovers were followed by Jaguars touchdowns on the ensuing drive. It's clear Maye misses No. 1 target A.J. Brown (ankle, IR), and although the latter's absence wasn't anywhere near as impactful in a Week 2 win over the Steelers where the defense held Pittsburgh to three points, it was glaring in a game where New England needed to consistently score points. Brown still is slated to miss several more games, and Maye will have plenty of pressure on him in a Week 4 road matchup against Josh Allen and the Bills. |

Leaves game due to thigh injury
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 1:11 PM
Van Roten (thigh) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Analysis: 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. |
|
Questionable to return Sunday
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 1:02 PM
Barmore (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Jacksonville.
Analysis: If Barmore can't return to the Week 3 meeting versus the Jaguars, it could mean more work for Joshua Farmer and Jeremiah Pharms. |

Behren Morton Behren Morton QB3 again in Week 3
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 11:35 AM
Morton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Jacksonville but will serve as the emergency quarterback.
Analysis: 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. |

Starting Sunday vs. Jacksonville
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 11:32 AM
Reed is expected to start alongside Kevin Byard at safety against the Jaguars on Sunday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Craig Woodson (shoulder) is inactive, so Reed will draw his first start of the season. Reed saw some playing time on defense during the Patriots' Week 2 win over the Steelers, with the second-year pro finishing with two tackles (one solo). |

Won't suit up against Jags
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 10:42 AM
Woodson (shoulder) is inactive Week 3 against the Jaguars.
Analysis: 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. |

Eli Raridon Eli Raridon Won't play Week 3
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 10:40 AM
Raridon (thigh) is listed as inactive Week 3 against the Jaguars.
Analysis: 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. |

Lands on injured reserve
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 8:55 PM
Hutchins (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
Analysis: 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. |
|
Questionable for Week 3
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 7:53 PM
Woodson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Woodson was upgraded to a limited participant in Friday's practice after missing the Wednesday and Thursday sessions due to a shoulder injury. The late upgrade in practice participation is a good sign for the starting strong safety, but it remains unclear if one partial practice will be enough to give Woodson the green light to suit up for Sunday's contest. |

Reggie Gilliam Reggie Gilliam Ready for Sunday
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 7:48 PM
Gilliam (knee) does not have any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Gilliam was limited in all three Week 3 practice sessions. The fullback sustained a knee injury during the Patriots' Week 2 win over the Steelers, but it won't stop the 29-year-old from suiting up for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Gilliam has seen 33 offensive snaps and 26 special-teams snaps through two games in 2026. |
|
Won't play Sunday
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 7:44 PM
Jones (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Jones was unable to practice throughout Week 3 due to a shoulder injury he suffered in the Patriots' Week 2 win over the Steelers. The outside linebacker's absence means Gabe Jacas will likely start on the edge opposite Elijah Ponder for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. |
|
Eli Raridon Eli Raridon Questionable for Sunday
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 7:38 PM
Raridon (thigh) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Raridon started the week as a limited participant Wednesday before downgrading to a non-participant in the Thursday and Friday practice sessions. The rookie third-rounder has still managed to draw the questionable tag despite consecutive absences, meaning the 22-year-old may have been granted some additional rest in anticipation of Sunday's contest. |
|
Logs full practice Thursday
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 10:10 PM
Crownover (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: A knee injury prevented Crownover from suiting up against the Steelers in Week 2, but his ability to fully practice Thursday puts the rookie sixth-rounder on track to play against the Jaguars on Sunday. His presence gives the Patriots depth on the offensive line, which could be even more crucial for Week 3 if starting right tackle Morgan Moses (foot) is unable to play. |
