No designation for Week 9
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 9:21 PM
Jacas (knee) does not have a designation for Sunday's contest versus Green Bay.
Analysis: Jacas made an early exit Sunday versus Miami due to a knee issue. He was limited in the first two Patriots practices this week but was able to upgrade to full participation Friday, clearing the way for him to suit up Week 9. |
Mack Hollins Mack Hollins Questionable for Week 9
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 3:08 PM
Hollins (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Analysis: 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. |
Rhamondre Stevenson Rhamondre Stevenson Set for expanded workload again in Week 9
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 1:10 PM
With TreVeyon Henderson (illness) ruled out for Week 9, Stevenson is set to handle an expanded workload Sunday against the Packers, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
Analysis: Henderson will miss a second straight game tending to medical issue. With the second-year running back out last week against Miami, Stevenson logged 76.7 percent of the offensive snaps and handled a season-high 19 carries, turning them into 82 scoreless yards. He also caught three passes on three targets. Stevenson will be a volume-driven, home-favorite RB1/2 for fantasy against Green Bay, while Corey Kiner will step into the RB2 role again. |
TreVeyon Henderson TreVeyon Henderson Won't play Sunday against Green Bay
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 12:30 PM
Henderson (illness) won't play Sunday against the Packers, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: 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. |
Hunter Henry Hunter Henry Listed as questionable
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 12:25 PM
Henry (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: 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. |
A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Won't play in Sunday's game
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 12:22 PM
Brown (knee) won't be available for Sunday's game against the Packers, Mark Daniels of Masslive.comreports.
Analysis: Following a trio of consecutive DNPs, Brown is slated to sit out a second consecutive contest. In his absence, DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism and Kyle Williams are available to handle Week 9 duties, while Mack Hollins (calf) -- who has been designated to return from IR -- is a candidate to be activated this weekend, and if that occurs he could step into a key role in his return to the lineup. As for Brown's potential availability for the Patriots' Week 10 contest versus the Lions in Munich, coach Mike Vrabel indicated that he doesn't know yet, per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Still not practicing
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 11:09 AM
Brown (knee/ankle) remained sidelined at practice Friday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: 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. |

Hunter Henry Hunter Henry Present for Friday's practice
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 11:02 AM
Henry (foot) is present for the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After missing practice both Wednesday and Thursday, Henry's presence for Friday's session is a positive sign ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers. The Patriots' upcoming injury report will reveal both the tight end's official participation level, as well as his Week 9 game status. |

TreVeyon Henderson TreVeyon Henderson Provides medical update Friday
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 10:39 AM
In a statement posted to social media Friday, Henderson -- who hasn't practiced since last Wednesday -- noted that he recently experienced "an unexpected and unusual medical emergency involving a series of unexplained neurological symptoms," Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Henderson was unavailable for New England's Week 8 win over Miami due to an undisclosed illness, and he's now indicated that tests have "come back positive and reassuring," adding "I will continue working closely with specialists and physical therapists to focus on my recovery, as these symptoms have affected my strength, coordination, and some of my physical functions." The running back noted that for now he is "committed to doing everything necessary to return to full health" and that his "health and long-term well-being" are his foremost priorities. In six games this season while working in a Patriots backfield that also includes Rhamondre Stevenson, Corey Kiner and Lan Larison, Henderson has carried 52 times for 203 yards a touchdown, while adding five receptions for 45 yards. |

TreVeyon Henderson TreVeyon Henderson Logs another 'DNP' Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 3:48 PM
Henderson (illness) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice, ESPN's Rob Demovsky reports.
Analysis: 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. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Thursday's DNP confirmed
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 3:38 PM
Brown (ankle/knee) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: 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. |

TreVeyon Henderson TreVeyon Henderson Not present Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 1:38 PM
Henderson (illness) was not seen at Thursday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Henderson hasn't practiced since last Wednesday as he deals with an illness. Unless he returns to drills Thursday and/or Friday this week, he may be in danger of missing a second game in a row Sunday against the Packers. Thursday's injury report will reveal Henderson's activity level. |
|
Hunter Henry Hunter Henry Absent again Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 1:37 PM
Henry (foot) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: 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. |
|
A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Absent again Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 1:32 PM
Brown (ankle/knee) isn't present for the portion of Thursday's practice open to media viewing, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown appears set for a second straight missed practice after sitting out Wednesday's session on the heels of his absence during New England's Week 8 win over Miami. He'll have one more chance to practice Friday and will likely have to participate in some capacity to avoid being ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers. |

Nearing return to action
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 9:55 PM
Van Roten (thigh) was designated to return from injured reserve by New England on Wednesday, Matt Legros of Patriots Wire reports.
Analysis: 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. |

Mack Hollins Mack Hollins Limited in return to practice
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 5:03 PM
Hollins (calf) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice after being designated for return from injured reserve.
Analysis: After the Patriots opened up his 21-day evaluation window, Hollins took the field for his first practice since Week 4. Hollins will be eligible for activation from IR at any point, but unless he upgrades to full participation by the end of the week, he could have a tough time gaining clearance for Sunday's matchup with the Packers. Through New England's first four games before he sustained a calf injury, Hollins produced a 15-209-0 receiving line on 20 targets. |

Hunter Henry Hunter Henry Sitting out first practice of Week 9
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 1:41 PM
Henry (foot) wasn't on the field for the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: 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. |

TreVeyon Henderson TreVeyon Henderson Won't practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 12:21 PM
Henderson (illness) won't practice Wednesday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: 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. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Set to miss Wednesday's practice
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 12:13 PM
Brown (ankle/knee) won't practice Wednesday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: 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. |

Mack Hollins Mack Hollins Set to resume practicing Wednesday
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 8:14 AM
The Patriots are expected to designate Hollins (calf) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: 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. |
