Out for at least another week
Fri, Aug 7, 2026, 8:15 PM
Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said Friday that Davis will be sidelined for at least another week due to a hamstring injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Davis injured his hamstring during training camp practice July 28 and has not participated in any drills since. The veteran cornerback was unlikely to see much action in preseason games anyways, and if he's ruled for the Patriots' first exhibition game against the Colts on Thursday, then Kobee Minor, Karon Prunty and Marcellas Dial would all be in line for more snaps at outside corner. Davis is looking to build off a solid 2025 regular season, when he tallied 69 tackles (39 solo) and 10 pass defenses over 17 games. |

Kyle Williams Kyle Williams Vrabel wants to keep the WR involved
Fri, Aug 7, 2026, 1:53 PM
Despite Williams' modest role in training camp to date, coach Mike Vrabel says that the Patriots want to find ways to keep the 2025 third-rounder involved in the offense this season, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: "I really, really know that Kyle is going to help us," Vrabel noted Friday. "His speed is going to help us...we're going to find ways to get him the ball, and it may be outside of just the normal installation plays." As a rookie, Williams caught 10 of 21 targets for 209 yards and three touchdowns in 17 regular-season contests in 2025, but it's notable that those three scores all came on big plays. For now, Williams seems to be facing an uphill battles in terms of earning steady playing time in a crowded WR room, but if transactions or injuries change the composition of the unit, the Washington State product could make his mark as a complementary target alongside top options A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs. |

Romeo Doubs Romeo Doubs Returns to practice Friday
Fri, Aug 7, 2026, 8:43 AM
Doubs (personal) returned to practice Friday, Karen Guregian of MassLive.com reports.
Analysis: With his two recent absences being for non-injury reasons, Doubs should pick up where he left off at Patriots training camp, building chemistry with Drake Maye. The team has a deep WR room, also featuring A.J. Brown, Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas and Mack Hollins. |

Leaves practice early
Thu, Aug 6, 2026, 7:57 PM
Hutchins (undisclosed) left Thursday's training camp session early, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hutchins suffered an injury at rookie minicamp in early May. It is unclear if Thursday's issue was the same issue or a new one, but regardless, the seventh-rounder has consistently missed time since being drafted. If the linebacker cannot get and stay healthy, his chances of making the 53-man roster may be in jeopardy. |

Romeo Doubs Romeo Doubs Misses another practice
Thu, Aug 6, 2026, 11:11 AM
Doubs (undisclosed) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports.
Analysis: Doubs also missed Wednesday's session with an undisclosed issue, so his status will be worth monitoring as the Patriots' Aug. 13 preseason opener against the Colts approaches. For now, consider the Patriots' No. 2 WR day-to-day until added context regarding his absence is provided. |

Still dealing with injury
Wed, Aug 5, 2026, 8:52 PM
Davis (undisclosed) did not participate at the Patriots' training camp practice Wednesday, Sophie Weller of USA Today reports.
Analysis: It's still not immediately clear what kind of issue Davis is tending to, and there's no concrete timetable for his return to practice. In the meantime, Charles Woods figures to continue to see more reps with the first-team secondary. |

Lan Larison Lan Larison Works with second team
Wed, Aug 5, 2026, 5:46 PM
Larison led the second-team offense Wednesday, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: It seems that Terrell Jennings has the early lead for the No. 3 running back position, but Larison might be his closest competition. While Jennings took snaps with the first-team offense Wednesday, Larison led the second. There could be a situation in the future where Larison earns the right to test the first-team waters behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. |

CJ Dippre CJ Dippre Activated off active/PUP
Wed, Aug 5, 2026, 5:39 PM
The Patriots activated Dippre (undisclosed) off the active/PUP list Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Dippre began training camp on the PUP list for what is likely a wrist injury. The tight end was seen in uniform at Wednesday's walkthrough with a brace on his left wrist. It is unclear to what extent Dippre will be able to participate in a full practice, but for now it seems the second-year player out of Alabama is ready to go. |

Romeo Doubs Romeo Doubs Doesn't practice Wednesday
Wed, Aug 5, 2026, 4:17 PM
Doubs (undisclosed) missed practice Wednesday, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: This marks Doubs' first missed practice of the summer, per Callahan, so it's unclear if the wideout is dealing with an injury issue or if his absence Wednesday was maintenance-related. When available, Doubs profiles a New England's WR2 behind top option A.J. Brown. |

Terrell Jennings Terrell Jennings Competing for RB3 role
Wed, Aug 5, 2026, 11:02 AM
Jennings worked alongside Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson with the Patriots' starting offense during Wednesday's practice, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile, fellow RBs Lan Larison, Jam Miller and Myles Montgomery worked on the opposite field with the team's backups, with Callahan suggesting that Jennings, for now, seems to have a head start on the team's No. 3 running back job. That said, Larison and/or Jam Miller could push for the role as training camp progresses. In any case, whichever back claims that spot on New England's depth chart will have limited fantasy value as long as Stevenson and Henderson are available. |

Tejhaun Palmer Tejhaun Palmer New opportunity with New England
Tue, Aug 4, 2026, 5:09 PM
The Patriots claimed Palmer off waivers from the Cardinals on Tuesday.
Analysis: Palmer will call New England his new home two days after being waived by Arizona. He spent most of the 2025 season on the Cardinals' practice squad but did play in the team's regular-season finale against the Rams, when he logged six snaps (four offense, two special teams) without recording a stat otherwise. Palmer will have the opportunity to compete for a depth spot on the Patriots' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Even if he doesn't make the cut, then a strong training camp could earn Palmer a spot on New England's practice squad. |

Terrell Jennings Terrell Jennings Returning to camp
Mon, Aug 3, 2026, 6:03 PM
The Patriots activated Jennings (undisclosed) from the active/non-football injury list Monday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jennings passed his physical and was able to return to practice Monday. The running back is competing with Lan Larison, Jam Miller and Myles Montgomery for the No. 3 running back role behind starters Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. A 2024 undrafted free agent out of Florida A&M, Jennings produced 23 rushes for 73 yards and one touchdown over seven regular-season games in 2025. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Works through thumb issue
Mon, Aug 3, 2026, 12:28 PM
Though Brown dislocated his thumb during Monday's practice, he continued to work through the session afterward, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
Analysis: Per Daniels, the wideout -- whose chemistry with QB Drake Maye continues to grow -- finished the session with with four catches. Given that he was able to work through his thumb issue Monday, the wideout's practice participation isn't expected to be impacted going forward. The Patriots' preseason opener is Thursday, Aug. 13 against the Colts, and it remains to be seen whether key starters like Brown will see action in the contest. |

Jam Miller Jam Miller Logging kickoff-return reps
Mon, Aug 3, 2026, 10:34 AM
Miller has been taking kickoff-return reps during training camp, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: As camp progresses, Miller, who the Patriots took in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, continues to compete for slotting in the team's backfield behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. While Lazar notes that Lan Larison has been getting the first crack at reps behind the top duo thus far, Miller could still push for the No. 3 RB role down the road, with his ability in the return game boosting his chances of securing a roster spot ahead of Week 1. Also in the mix for depth roles in New England's backfield are are Terrell Jennings and Myles Montgomery. |

Activated off NFI list
Sat, Aug 1, 2026, 4:06 PM
The Patriots activated Jacas (knee) off the active/non-football injury list Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Jacas is officially recovered from a knee injury after passing his physical. The rookie second-round pick is expected to contribute as a rotational linebacker during the upcoming campaign. |

Limited in practice Saturday
Sat, Aug 1, 2026, 2:05 PM
Jacas (knee) was a limited participant in Saturday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jacas was seen working with coach Mike Vrabel 1-on-1 on punt-protection techniques. The rookie second-rounder out of Illinois still resides on the active/non-football injury list due to a knee issue he underwent surgery after being drafted to fix. Limited work in training camp means there is a good chance Jacas is ready for the regular season and can contribute to the Patriots' defense as a rotational outside linebacker. |

Lan Larison Lan Larison In camp competition vs. rookies
Fri, Jul 31, 2026, 3:43 PM
Larison is battling rookies Jam Miller and Myles Montgomery for the third spot on the Patriots' running back depth chart, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Larison looks like the early favorite for the third spot behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson, but Miller and Montgomery will have opportunities to strengthen their cases for roster spots throughout training camp and the preseason. Lazar notes that Larison, Miller and Montgomery have all gotten opportunities on kickoff returns early in training camp. Special-teams ability could be the deciding factor for which running back earns a roster spot, since Stevenson and Henderson are expected to monopolize opportunities on offense if healthy. |

Drake Maye Drake Maye Connecting with Brown in practice
Fri, Jul 31, 2026, 2:38 PM
Maye was sharp at Friday's practice, which he started off with a long touchdown pass to A.J. Brown on the first play of the 11-on-11 period, Paul Perillo of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Maye enjoyed a breakout sophomore season while facing a historically easy regular-season schedule, but the 2024 first-round pick came crashing back down to earth in the playoffs. The Patriots made the Super Bowl despite Maye posting the worst playoff performance of all time by expected points added, which finally caught up to New England in a 29-13 Super Bowl loss to the Seahawks. Maye will get a chance to try to avenge that loss to Seattle in the first game of the 2026 regular season Sept. 9, and he'll have a new top target for that rematch in Brown, with whom Maye has started to build a rapport as training camp progresses. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Building connection with Maye
Fri, Jul 31, 2026, 2:35 PM
After the connection between Brown and QB Drake Maye got off to a slow start in training camp, Paul Perillo of the Patriots' official site notes that "there have been some serious signs of life since the pads came on Thursday morning."
Analysis: With that in mind, Maye said Friday,"I feel the connectivity building now," adding "that's the biggest thing. You are just seeing it get better every day." As the two players' chemistry continues to grow while Brown acclimates to his new team's offense, the wideout is firmly on track to yield fantasy utility as New England's top option at his position alongside fellow newcomer Romeo Doubs, with Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams and Efton Chism battling for targets that don't go to the aforementioned duo. |

Absent from Thursday practice
Thu, Jul 30, 2026, 3:58 PM
Davis (undisclosed) was not present at Thursday's practice, Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com reports.
Analysis: Davis' absence allowed Charles Woods to receive starting reps across from Christian Gonzalez. Kobee Minor and Karon Prunty may also get a chance at meaningful reps if Davis has a more serious issue. |
