  • Patriots' Matthew Judon: Expected back for Sunday

  • Patriots' Matthew Judon: Lands on COVID list

    Judon has been placed on the Patriots' reserve/COVID-19 list, Field Yates of ESPN reports. Judon will need to clear the NFL's health and safety protocols before being eligible to return.

  • Patriots' Matthew Judon: No practice Wednesday

  • Patriots' Matthew Judon: Heads to New England

    Judon and the Patriots have reached agreement on a four-year, $56 million contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Judon has never reached double-digit sacks, but he does have six or more in four straight seasons, with no fewer than 19 QB hits each of those years. And while he applied more pressure than the modest sack totals indicate, critics will note that Baltimore's affinity for Cover-0 blitzes created unblocked pass-rush situations for Judon. Regardless, his competence as both a pass rusher and run defender helped stabilize an otherwise shaky position in Baltimore the past few years. In New England, Judon could be replacing John Simon, a fellow free agent who had only two sacks in 16 starts for the Pats last year.

    Judon (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Patriots. After starting the practice week on the sidelines, Judon made progress every day and was a full participant Friday.

  • Ravens' Matt Judon: Given boot from AFC North clash

    Judon has been ejected from Sunday's matchup against the Steelers for contacting an official, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports. Judon's contact was not malicious by any means, as he was seemingly trying to free his arm from an opposing player's grasp when he bumped the referee. The officiating crew deemed the act significant enough to merit ejection, however, removing a formidable pass rusher from Baltimore's front seven. Judon has recorded eight QB hits and two sacks over his past three appearances, but the Ravens will have to proceed without him for the remainder of Sunday's contest.
