A.J. Brown
A.J. Brown Expected to return for Week 6
Sat, Oct 17, 2026, 9:04 AM
Brown (ankle) will likely be activated from injured reserve to play Sunday against the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Brown logged a trio of limited practices during Week 6 prep, but it appears the veteran wide receiver has progressed enough in his recovery from a right-ankle sprain to be activated from injured reserve. Assuming he's activated from IR by the 4:00 p.m. ET deadline Saturday, Brown will slot right back into the WR1 spot and provide a significant boost in the passing game while leading the Patriots' wide receiver group that also consists of Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism.
Questionable for Week 6
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 11:16 PM
Campbell (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: Campbell was limited in practice all week by an MCL sprain in his right knee, which he sustained against the Raiders in Week 5. If he cannot play Sunday, then Caleb Lomu would likely start at left tackle.
Good to go for Week 6
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 11:12 PM
Woods (shoulder) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: Woods aggravated a shoulder injury in Week 5 against the Raiders, but he's been cleared to play Sunday after logging a full practice Friday. He has 22 tackles (16 solo) and three pass defenses through the first five games of the regular season.
Ready for Week 6
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 9:17 PM
Jones (shoulder) does not have any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: Jones played through a shoulder injury for the Patriots' Week 5 win over the Raiders. The pass rusher played 57 percent of the Patriots' defensive snaps in the game and will likely have a similar snap share in Week 6 against the Jets.
Out for Week 6
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 9:12 PM
Prunty (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: Prunty has not practiced since sustaining a hamstring injury in the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Bills. The cornerback missed Week 5 and will now miss Week 6 due to the injury. Even if Prunty were to return, Christian Gonzalez and Charles Woods would likely be the starting duo at outside cornerback.
Set to miss consecutive games
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 9:09 PM
Davis (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: Davis has not practiced since aggravating a neck injury in the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Bills. The cornerback remains without a set return timeline, and it is unclear how much longer he will be unable to practice.
Rhamondre Stevenson
Rhamondre Stevenson Could work with Henderson in Week 6
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 7:00 PM
Stevenson's workload against the Jets on Sunday will depend on whether TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is cleared to play, Evan Lazaar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Henderson was expected to miss multiple weeks due to a high-ankle sprain that he sustained against the Raiders in Week 5. However, the second-year running back was able to practice in a limited capacity in all three Week 6 practices, which was enough for him to draw the questionable tag for Sunday's AFC East showdown. If he's ruled out, then Stevenson would be the Patriots' clear RB1 and take on a sizable workload, with Corey Kiner serving in a rotational role.
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson Hopes to play Sunday
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 1:25 PM
Henderson said Friday that an MRI revealed he sustained a high-ankle sprain but that he is "hoping to play" Sunday against the Jets, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: It was reported earlier in the week that Henderson was facing a multi-week absence due to a high-ankle sprain, and while he was indeed diagnosed with the more severe ankle issue, he was able to practice this week and will have a chance to take the field in Week 6.
A.J. Brown
A.J. Brown Decision to come Saturday
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 12:57 PM
Head coach Mike Vrabel said Friday that the Patriots won't make a call on Brown's (ankle) status for Sunday's game against the Jets until Saturday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Since the Patriots designated Brown for return from injured reserve Wednesday, he logged back-to-back limited sessions to begin Week 6 prep, but the team won't make a decision to activate him until it's absolutely required to do so (by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday). If he's given the green light to play for the first time since Week 1, when he sustained a right high-ankle sprain, he'll rejoin a New England receiving corps currently populated by Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism and Kyle Williams.
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson Practicing Friday
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 11:13 AM
Henderson (ankle) is practicing Friday, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
Analysis: After opening Week 6 prep with back-to-back limited sessions, Henderson is participating for a third straight day. Reports earlier this week suggested he would miss multiple games, but it now appears he has a chance to avoid any absences altogether. New England's final injury report will provide a better idea of where Henderson stands ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Jets.
A.J. Brown
A.J. Brown Practices again Friday
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 11:10 AM
Brown (ankle) practiced all three days this week, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
Analysis: After the Patriots opened his 21-day return window Wednesday and he was able to log limited work Thursday, Brown now appears to have made it through a full week of practice activity. The Patriots will need to activate him from injured reserve Friday or Saturday if he's going to play against the Jets on Sunday. It's not yet clear if that will happen, but continued practice participation is at least a strong sign that Brown should be ready for Week 7, if not Week 6.
Limited at practice Thursday
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 8:58 PM
Campbell (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Campbell sustained a sprained right knee in Week 5 versus the Raiders, and his availability for Week 6 is in serious doubt. Unless he's able to upgrade to a full practice Friday, he'll probably end up carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
Cleared for Week 6
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 6:25 PM
Gonzalez (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Gonzalez missed the Patriots' last two games. He practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday. However, after being upgraded to a full participant Thursday, Gonzalez has the green light to suit up for the AFC East clash with the Jets.
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson Limited again Thursday
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 3:29 PM
Henderson (ankle) remained limited at Thursday's practice, Mark Daniels of MassLive reports.
Analysis: Henderson has been limited in back-to-back practice sessions to kick off Week 6 prep. He'll likely need to upgrade to full participation Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's home game against the Jets, in which second place in the AFC East will be on the line. Corey Kiner would be in line for change-of-pace work behind Rhamondre Stevenson if Henderson sits.
A.J. Brown
A.J. Brown Remains limited Thursday
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 3:24 PM
Brown (ankle) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Mark Daniels of MassLive reports.
Analysis: Brown has logged a pair of limited practice sessions since being designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. He said Thursday that his availability for Sunday's game against the Jets is "up in the air." The decision regarding whether to play is out of Brown's hands, as his availability will be determined by head coach Mike Vrabel in consultation with team doctors. Brown has once more chance remaining to upgrade to full participation Friday before New England releases Week 6 injury designations. He would need to be added back onto the active roster before being eligible to play.
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson Set to practice in pads Thursday
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 1:04 PM
Henderson (ankle) is in pads ahead of Thursday's practice, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Henderson was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, and he looks poised to practice in some capacity again Thursday, though the extent of his participation remains to bee seen. After initial pessimism following his exit from the Week 5 win over the Raiders, Henderson seemingly has a chance to suit up Sunday against the Jets without missing any additional game action.
A.J. Brown
A.J. Brown Week 6 status "up in the air"
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 12:43 PM
Brown (ankle) said Thursday that it's "up in the air" whether he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Jets, and that the decision will ultimately be made by head coach Mike Vrabel, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown practiced Wednesday after having his 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened. "I felt pretty good," Brown said regarding Wednesday's practice, during which he was listed as limited. "It's one step at a time." The flashy offseason acquisition has missed the past four games due to a sprained ankle sustained in the second half of New England's season-opening loss to Seattle. A loss to the Jets on Sunday would drop the Patriots to third in the AFC East standings, but New England's passing game has been trending in the right direction despite Brown's ongoing absence, as Drake Maye has a 7:1 TD:INT over the past two games after posting a 1:6 ratio through Week 3.
Practice window opens
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 7:55 PM
The Patriots opened the 21-day practice window Wednesday for Bryant (ankle) to return from injured reserve.
Analysis: Bryant suffered an ankle injury in the preseason. The offensive tackle has served his four-game regular-season minimum on IR and is ready to return to the field. Bryant was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, and the Patriots have until Nov. 4 to return him to the active roster, or he will finish the 2026 season on IR.
Limited in practice Wednesday
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 6:50 PM
Woods (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Woods exited the Patriots' Week 5 win over the Raiders early with a shoulder injury and did not return. The cornerback likely aggravated a pre-existing issue in the contest but was still able to suit up for practice Wednesday. Woods played through the injury to start the Week 5 contest and will likely do the same for Week 6 against the Jets unless Carlton Davis (neck) and Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) are healthy enough to reclaim their starting spots at outside cornerback.
Limited participant Wednesday
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 6:45 PM
Jones (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Jones exited the Patriots' Week 5 win over the Raiders in the fourth quarter with a shoulder injury. The linebacker was questionable to return to the contest but was unable to get back on the field before the game concluded. Jones already participating in practice may mean the injury is not that significant. If the 29-year-old keeps participating in practice, he should suit up for Sunday's game against the Jets.
