Top Patriots News

  • Patriots' Will Campbell: Back from IR

    Campbell was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

    Campbell has been sidelined since late November but managed to practice in full throughout the week. He does not have an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Dolphins, suggesting Campbell will be active to help the Patriots as they attempt to lock up one of the two top seeds in the AFC.

  • Patriots' Milton Williams: Activated from IR

    The Patriots activated Williams (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Williams was able to log a full practice Friday and holds no injury designation ahead of Sunday's divisional tilt. The defensive end is all set to suit up for his first game since Week 11. Due to the 26-year-old's return, Cory Durden will likely see a reduction in defensive snaps for the remainder of the season.

  • Patriots' Milton Williams: Seems ready to return Week 18

    Williams (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Miami.

    Williams remains on IR -- where he's been since mid-November -- but he was able to log a full practice Friday. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said the likelihood of Williams being activated in time to play Week 18 "looks good" when asked Friday, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. Williams' return would be a nice boost for New England's defensive line ahead of the playoffs, as he posted 27 tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and a defensed pass over 11 contests prior to getting hurt.

  • Patriots' Jared Wilson: Won't play Week 18

    Wilson (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Miami, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Wilson has not practiced or played since entering the league's concussion protocol following the Patriots' Week 16 win over the Ravens. The lack of progression through the league's protocol puts the rookie third-rounder in jeopardy of being sidelined for the start of the playoffs, though he would have an extra week to recover if the Patriots were to claim the No. 1 seed in the AFC by winning Sunday if the Broncos were to lose to the Chargers. Ben Brown should start at left guard for a second straight game in Wilson's absence.

  • Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Limited Friday, no Week 18 designation

    Diggs (non injury-related/rest) was limited at practice Friday, but he doesn't carry a designation ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dolphins.

    Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, the league is reviewing an alleged Dec. 2 incident that led to Diggs facing a felony charge of strangulation and a misdemeanor charge of assault. According to Jeremy Bergman of NFL.com, while the matter is under review as a potential violation of the league's personal conduct policy, the wideout is eligible to play, though it's possible Diggs' status could change as the legal process unfolds. As Week 18 approaches, Diggs leads the Patriots with 82 catches (on 99 targets) for 970 yards and four TDs in 16 regular-season contests.

  • Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Cleared for Week 18

    Boutte (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dolphins.

    Boutte was limited Wednesday, but he worked fully Thursday and Friday and now has been cleared to return to action after being inactive Week 17. In 13 regular-season contests, Boutte has recorded a 31-527-6 line on 42 targets, a pace that keeps him on the fantasy radar in deeper formats. With Mack Hollins (abdomen) on IR, look for Boutte to step right back into a significant snap share Week 18 while working alongside fellow WRs Stefon Diggs, Kyle Williams, DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism.

  • Patriots' Hunter Henry: Ready for Week 18

    Henry (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Dolphins.

    Hunter followed up Wednesday's absence from practice due to an illness with back-to-back limited sessions to end Week 18 prep, which was enough activity to clear him ahead of Sunday's matchup. The Patriots still can earn the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a win this weekend, coupled with a Broncos loss or tie, but because the latter's opponent Sunday, the Chargers, won't have QB Justin Herbert and other starters to be named later, New England seems more likely than not to remain the No. 2 seed. Henry himself is sitting on 55 catches for 712 yards and seven touchdowns through 16 games, with only the yardage count among those serving as a new career high as his stat line currently stands.

  • Patriots' Harold Landry: Sidelined against Dolphins

    Landry (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    The 29-year-old didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday after missing the Week 17 win over the Jets due to a knee injury, so it's no surprise he won't suit up Sunday. Landry has been a massive part of New England's pass rush in his first season as a Patriot, recording 48 total tackles, including 8.5 sacks, and one forced fumble over 15 appearances. Expect Anfernee Jennings to start opposite K'Lavon Chaisson in the Patriots' linebacker corps while Landry is out Week 18.

  • Patriots' Robert Spillane: Won't play Sunday

    Spillane (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Spillane sustained an ankle injury in the Week 14 win over the Giants and is now in line to miss his fourth consecutive contest. The veteran linebacker is a crucial part of the Patriots' defense, tallying 97 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, five passes defensed, with two interceptions, and one forced fumble over 13 appearances this season. While he's sidelined Sunday, expect Jack Gibbens to have an expanded role in New England's linebacker corps.

  • Patriots' Khyiris Tonga: Out for Sunday

    Tonga (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    The 29-year-old is now in line to miss his second game in a row due to a foot injury sustained in the Week 16 win over the Ravens. Across 14 appearances this season, Tonga has tallied 24 total tackles and two passes defensed while serving as one of the Patriots' top nose tackles. Expect Eric Gregory to have an expanded role on New England's defensive line while Tonga is out Sunday.
