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. |
|
DNP again Thursday
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 7:46 PM
Jones (shoulder) did not practice Thursday.
Analysis: Jones suffered a shoulder injury in the 20-3 win over the Steelers in Week 2. Since then, he's missed the last two practice sessions. If Jones can't suit up in Week 3 against Jacksonville, Gabe Jucas is a candidate for more snaps. |
|
Misses another practice
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 7:34 PM
Woodson (shoulder) did not practice Thursday.
Analysis: Woodson suffered a shoulder injury in Sunday's 20-3 win over Pittsburgh. He didn't practice Wednesday, with that trend continuing Thursday. The 25-year-old doesn't appear to be heading in a favorable direction, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him carry an injury designation for the Week 3 clash with the Jaguars. If Woodson isn't available, Jaylen Reed may continue to be more involved. |

Eli Raridon Eli Raridon Doesn't practice Thursday
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 7:26 PM
Raridon (thigh) did not practice Thursday.
Analysis: Raridon was injured in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers. He practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday. However, the 22-year-old appeared to take a step back by missing Thursday's session. Raridon will have another opportunity to practice Friday or else he may carry an injury designation ahead of the Week 3 meeting with Jacksonville. The rookie appeared in both of the Patriots' games to begin the 2026 campaign, catching both targets for 32 yards and one touchdown. |

Placed on injured reserve
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 9:28 PM
The Patriots placed Pettus (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Pettus exited the second quarter of Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers with an ankle injury. The injury appears to be significant and will require Pettus to miss at least four games on IR before being able to return to the active roster. With Craig Woodson (shoulder) also injured, the team will likely look to sign or elevate a player from the practice squad to fulfill the strong safety role in Week 3 against the Jaguars. |
|
Practice window opened
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 8:02 PM
The Patriots opened the 21-day practice window for Schooler (back) on Wednesday.
Analysis: 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. |
|
Eli Raridon Eli Raridon Limited to open week
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 7:22 PM
Raridon (thigh) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Raridon was forced to leave Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers in the first half with a thigh injury, and he was unable to return to the game. The tight end's ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday is a positive sign, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice before the team faces the Jaguars in Week 3. |

Reggie Gilliam Reggie Gilliam Dealing with knee injury
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 7:17 PM
Gilliam (knee) was a limited participant at the Patriots' practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Gilliam appears to have left Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers a little worse for wear, picking up a knee injury at some point during the contest. The fullback will have two more chances to log a full practice before the team's Week 3 matchup with Jacksonville. |
|
Full practice Wednesday
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 7:15 PM
Davis (neck) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Davis was unavailable for the team's Week 2 win over the Steelers as a result of a neck injury, but he now appears to be healthy ahead of Sunday's contest against the Jaguars. The 29-year-old will slot in as a starting cornerback versus Jacksonville. |
|
Kyle Williams Kyle Williams One catch in Week 2 win
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 9:59 PM
Williams caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Despite A.J. Brown (ankle) missing his first game after going down in Week 1 against Seattle, Williams played just 20 percent of the Patriots' offensive snaps against Pittsburgh. He operated as the fourth receiver, well behind Mack Hollins, Romeo Doubs and slot man DeMario Douglas. Williams doesn't hold much fantasy value in redraft formats. |

Plays all defensive snaps in win
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 9:17 PM
Spillane logged six tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Spillane played 100 percent of the Patriots' 70 defensive snaps in Sunday's contest. The inside linebacker has now played all 120 of the team's defensive snaps through two regular-season games. |
|
Eight solo tackles in win
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 9:10 PM
Woods logged 10 tackles (eight solo) and defensed one pass in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Woods played 86 percent of the Patriots' defensive snaps in Sunday's contest. The cornerback started in place of Carlton Davis (neck), who was ruled out due to injury. Woods will likely start again in the team's Week 3 game against the Jaguars if Davis is still absent. |
|
Scores touchdown in win
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 9:02 PM
Ponder logged five tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one fumble-recovery touchdown in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Ponder recovered an Aaron Rodgers fumble and took it 19 yards for a touchdown to extend the Patriots' 13-3 lead to the game-winning 20-3 score. The outside linebacker played 77 percent of the team's defensive snaps in the contest. |
|
Double-digit tackles in defensive win
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 8:55 PM
Elliss logged 12 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, and forced a fumble in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Elliss led all players in Sunday's contest in tackles. The inside linebacker played all 70 defensive snaps in the contest and has missed just one defensive snap through two regular-season games. |
|
Sent to injured reserve
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 7:27 PM
The Patriots placed Onwenu (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: 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. |
