Tommy DeVito Tommy DeVito Emergency QB for Super Bowl
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 4:12 PM
DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback for Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday.
Analysis: As he's done for the whole 2025 season, DeVito will be the emergency QB3 behind Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs. That means DeVito is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Maye and Dobbs were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection. |

D'Ernest Johnson D'Ernest Johnson Joins active roster
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 3:45 PM
The Patriots elevated Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster.
Analysis: Johnson has been active through the Patriots' entire playoff run as Terrell Jennings (hamstring) remains on injured reserve. Johnson will act as a depth piece behind running backs Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. The 29-year-old had just two snaps on special teams (both kick returns) during the Patriots' 10-7 win over the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game and could see a similar role for the Super Bowl on Sunday. |

Drake Maye Drake Maye Ready for Super Bowl LX
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 4:59 PM
Maye (right shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks.
Analysis: During the first week of Super Bowl prep, Maye was listed as limited last Wednesday and Thursday due to a right shoulder injury that he suffered in the AFC Championship Game win at Denver. He then missed practice last Friday before the Patriots listed him as questionable. However, Maye put together three consecutive full sessions this week, clearing him for the final contest of his second campaign. Through three playoff victories so far, he completed 43 of 77 passes for 533 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions, rushed 24 times for 141 yards and one TD and fumbled six times (three lost). |

Mack Hollins Mack Hollins Not listed on injury report
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 7:26 PM
Hollins (abdomen) wasn't listed on Wednesday's practice report.
Analysis: Hollins spent four weeks on injured reserve with the abdominal issue, missing the final two weeks of the regular season and New England's first two playoff contests. He returned for the AFC Championship Game against Denver and caught two passes for 51 yards on 61 percent of the offensive snaps. Hollins appears ready to roll for Sunday's Super Bowl against the Seahawks. |

Hunter Henry Hunter Henry Clear for Super Bowl LX
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 7:24 PM
Henry (rest) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Analysis: Henry was listed as DNP/LP/FP last week due to rest but still was one of nine Patriots to get tagged as questionable for Super Bowl LX. His lack of a listing to begin this week indicates he's good to go ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks. In New England's three postseason contests to date, Henry has combined for a 6-81-1 line on 10 targets. |

Drake Maye Drake Maye Logs full practice Wednesday
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 7:19 PM
Maye (right shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday.
Analysis: Maye tended to a right shoulder injury after the Patriots' win in the AFC Championship Game at Denver that left him listed as limited last Wednesday and Thursday. He then missed Friday's practice due to an illness and emerged from the first week of Super Bowl LX prep with a questionable designation. After throwing "a good bit" Monday, Maye told Zack Cox of the Boston Herald, "I feel good. I'll be just fine." With an uncapped session to begin this week, Maye has backed up his statement and thus is set to lead the Patriots offense Sunday versus the Seahawks. |

Terrell Jennings Terrell Jennings Practice window closes
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 4:40 PM
Jennings' (hamstring) 21-day practice window closed Wednesday, and he will not play in Sunday's Super Bowl against the Seahawks, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Jennings ineligible to play against Seattle, it signals that D'Ernest Johnson will likely be elevated from the practice squad to serve as the Patriots' RB3 behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. Jennings appeared in seven regular-season games this season, rushing 23 times for 73 yards and one touchdown. |

Drake Maye Drake Maye Throws Monday, unconcerned about shoulder
Mon, Feb 2, 2026, 8:05 PM
Maye (shoulder) said he threw "a good bit" Monday and indicated that he "felt great," Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Maye was deemed questionable on last Friday's injury report due to both a right shoulder issue and an illness, though there have been no suggestions that the star quarterback is at any risk of missing Super Bowl LX this Sunday versus Seattle. Maye indicated Monday that he threw as much as he would in a typical practice and that he came out of the session with no concerns, emphasizing that he'll "be fine" for the title game. Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels echoed that sentiment, saying that Maye won't have any limitations placed on him as a result of the shoulder issue, per Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston. Maye logged an LP/LP/DNP practice progression last week, but his absence Friday was attributed primarily to the illness he was dealing with. Maye's participation level in practice this week will provide more insight into the extent (if any) that the shoulder issue will be managed. |

Hunter Henry Hunter Henry Gets early QUEST tag for Super Bowl
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 7:54 PM
Henry (rest) is listed as questionable on Friday's injury report ahead of Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8.
Analysis: Henry was estimated as DNP on Wednesday, was then listed as limited Thursday, and finished the week with a designation of full. His injury tag is simply "rest," so not much should be read into the initial questionable label -- in fact, the Patriots appeared to play it safe with their statuses this week, tagging all nine players (including the four who were deemed full participants Friday and the three who were DNPs all week) as questionable. There's nothing at this point to suggest that Henry is actually in any danger of missing the Super Bowl, and next week's New England practice reports should provide much more insight into the health of the roster ahead of the title game versus Seattle. |

Terrell Jennings Terrell Jennings Questionable with hamstring issue
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 6:45 PM
Jennings (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Super Bowl LX.
Analysis: Jennings developed a hamstring issue Thursday and was downgraded to a non-participant in Friday's practice due to the issue. The running back and kick returner has remained on injured reserve since Dec. 13, and likely will not be activated for the Super Bowl even with the extra week of recuperation. D'Ernest Johnson was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for last Sunday's AFC Championship Game and will likely be elevated once again to fill Jennings' role as the No. 3 running back for Super Bowl LX. |

Mack Hollins Mack Hollins Initially deemed questionable for SB
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 6:34 PM
Hollins (abdomen) is estimated as questionable on Friday's injury report for Super Bowl LX versus Seattle on Sunday, Feb.8.
Analysis: Hollins returned from a four-week absence to play in last Sunday's AFC Championship Game against Denver and caught both of his targets for 51 yards. This week, Hollins was estimated as limited Wednesday and Thursday before being deemed a full participant Friday. His designation of questionable heading into this weekend is a nod to how the Patriots would tag him if the team was playing this Sunday -- which it's obviously not -- so a better understanding of Hollins' chances of playing in the Super Bowl should come to light with his practice participation levels next week. Unless he suffered a setback against the Broncos, the expectation should be that Hollins will be available for the title game. |

Drake Maye Drake Maye Listed as questionable
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 6:26 PM
Maye (right shoulder/illness) is listed as questionable for Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8.
Analysis: With one week of Super Bowl prep in the books, Maye capped it with a missed practice Friday due to an illness, which followed back-to-back limited listings due to a right shoulder injury. The second issue mostly has been downplayed by coach Mike Vrabel and Maye himself, but his status still bears watching now that he's dealing with multiple health concerns. The Patriots won't post another injury report until next Wednesday, at which point Maye's availability for the final game of the season could have more clarity. |

Drake Maye Drake Maye Managing illness and shoulder
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 12:34 PM
Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said Maye did not practice Friday due to a combination of illness and his right shoulder injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Maye managed a limited practice session Thursday, which included taking part in throwing drills, but his activity level has now been downgraded due to the addition of an ailment. He was also listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report. Vrabel confirmed that if not for his new illness, Maye would have taken part in practice Friday, per Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com. As such, it doesn't appear that there's any reason for elevated worry about Maye's health after Vrabel stated Thursday that there's "not much" concern about the status of the starting quarterback's shoulder. New England will have one more full week of practice to ramp up Maye's rep count in advance of Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8. |

Drake Maye Drake Maye Not spotted at practice Friday
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 11:22 AM
Maye (shoulder) is not present at the early portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Maye was officially listed as limited at Thursday's practice, as well as on Wednesday's estimated report, though when speaking Thursday head coach Mike Vrabel said there's "not much" concern about the starting quarterback's right shoulder injury. After Thursday's session, Maye said he did take part in throwing drills and is "looking forward to trying to get some more reps here and there and feel it out," seemingly indicating New England's plan is for him to ramp up his activity level next week in advance of Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks. The release of Friday's official injury report will confirm whether or not Maye was able to get in any on-field reps. |

Terrell Jennings Terrell Jennings Now dealing with hamstring injury
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 6:44 PM
Jennings (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Jennings cleared the league's concussion protocol Wednesday, but he is now dealing with a hamstring issue that limited him during Thursday's session. The Patriots don't play until Feb. 8 against the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX, so that gives Jennings additional time to recover from his injury. |

Mack Hollins Mack Hollins Logs limited practice Thursday
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 6:27 PM
Hollins (abdomen) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Hollins landed on injured reserve in December due to an abdominal injury, but he was activated off IR ahead of the Patriots' victory over the Broncos during Sunday's AFC Championship Game, when he caught both of his targets for 51 yards. Hollins will likely continue to have his practice reps limited ahead of Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8, in order to avoid an aggravation of the injury. |

Drake Maye Drake Maye Officially limited Thursday
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 5:44 PM
Maye (right shoulder) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Maye emerged from Sunday's win in the AFC Championship Game at Denver with a right shoulder injury, and while he wasn't seen throwing during the open portion of Thursday's session, per Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston, the second-year quarterback told Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com afterward that he did throw and that he's "looking forward to trying to get some more reps here and there and feel it out." The Patriots' Super Bowl LX matchup with the Seahawks is still 10 days away on Sunday, Feb. 8, giving Maye plenty of time to get as close to 100 percent as possible. |

Drake Maye Drake Maye Not seen throwing Thursday
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 1:46 PM
Maye (shoulder) did not participate in throwing drills during the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Maye was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report due to a right shoulder issue and seems destined for a similar designation Thursday. Head coach Mike Vrabel said Thursday that there's "not much" concern about Maye's shoulder injury, per Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site, and Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports that Vrabel confirmed the issue was sustained during Sunday's 10-7 win over the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game. New England may simply intend to use the first half of their two-week practice period in advance of Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8 to allow their key starters some rest. If Maye doesn't begin to ramp up his activity level at practice Friday, expect him to do so next week. |

Terrell Jennings Terrell Jennings Still on IR for now
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 6:44 PM
Jennings (concussion) was estimated as a full practice participant on the Patriots' injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: Jennings has been clear of concussion protocol for a week now, but he was kept on injured reserve for the AFC Championship at Denver to save a roster spot. With Rhamondre Stevenson and rookie second-rounder TreVeyon Henderson both still healthy, there's no guarantee New England will activate Jennings for the Super Bowl. |

Mack Hollins Mack Hollins Tending to abdomen issue
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 6:36 PM
Hollins (abdomen) was estimated as a limited practice participant on the Patriots' injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: Hollins was able to play through his lingering abdomen injury in the AFC Championship at Denver, catching both of his two targets for 51 yards. However, the issue is apparently still bothering him as New England begins its preparations for the Super Bowl. His level of activity once the Patriots actually start holding practices will be worth keeping an eye on as Super Bowl LX approaches. |
