  • Patriots' Jaylinn Hawkins: Causes crucial fumble vs. Baltimore

    Hawkins logged seven tackles (four solo), one quarterback hit and one forced fumble during the Patriots' 28-24 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

    Hawkins was one of three New England defenders to play all 55 defensive snaps Sunday, and he finished tied with Christian Gonzalez as the team's third-leading tackler behind Jack Gibbens (10) and Carlton Davis (eight). Hawkins' biggest play of the game came late in the first quarter, when he punched the ball out of Derrick Henry's arms to give the Patriots the ball near midfield, and the offense was able to convert the turnover into a one-yard touchdown pass from Drake Maye to Hunter Henry 10 plays later. Hawkins has played every single defensive snap in seven of his last eight games and is up to 69 tackles (43 solo), including 1.5 sacks, four pass defenses (two interceptions), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 13 regular-season games.

  • Patriots' Jaylinn Hawkins: Full practice Tuesday

    Hawkins (shoulder) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

  • Patriots' Jaylinn Hawkins: Nursing shoulder injury

    Hawkins (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on Monday's injury report.

    Hawkins likely picked up the injury during the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, when he logged six tackles (four solo) while playing 66 of 69 defensive snaps. New England held a walkthrough Monday, so the sixth-year safety will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of Thursday's AFC East clash against the Jets.

  • Patriots' Jaylinn Hawkins: Spectacular interception in Week 8

    Hawkins recorded five tackles (four solo) and an interception during the Patriots' 32-13 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Hawkins was cleared to play Sunday after missing the prior two games due to a hamstring injury. The 2020 fourth-rounder played every single defensive snap and arguably made the play of the game in the third quarter, when he made a one-handed, diving pick on a deep pass intended for Isaiah Bond, which led to a 39-yard touchdown pass from Drake Maye to Kayshon Boutte five plays later. It was Hawkins' second interception of the season, which matches his career high from 2021 and 2022.

    A hamstring injury sidelined Hawkins for the Patriots' last two games, but the 2020 fourth-rounder is on track to return for Week 8 against the Browns on Sunday. Hawkins' return will mean less snaps at safety for Kyle Dugger, though rookie fourth-rounder Craig Woodson is nursing an ankle injury that prevented him practicing Wednesday.

  • Patriots' Jaylinn Hawkins: Out for Week 6

    Hawkins (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Hawkins played through his hamstring injury in New England's Week 5 win over the Bills, recording three total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, across 68 defensive snaps. However, the injury likely worsened during the win, as he began the Patriots' week of practice with consecutive DNPs and has since been ruled out for Sunday's contest.
