91 Deatrich Wise DE

Wise agreed to a contract with the Patriots on Monday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

The terms of the deal remain unclear, but the 26-year-old will stick in New England after totaling 49 tackles (27 solo), 2.5 sacks and one fumble recovery during 2020. Wise appeared in all but two games over his first four seasons and should to have a significant role in the Patriots' defensive line rotation.

Wise (personal) will play Sunday against the Broncos, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.

Wise missed the first two practices of the week for non-injury reasons, but he returned to practice Friday and is good to go. The 25-year-old defensive end has posted 11 tackles and 0.5 sacks through four games, and he could handle a decent workload Sunday if Adam Butler (shoulder) is ruled out.

Wise (personal) is not present at Friday's practice due to "non-injury related" issues, Tom E. Curran of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Wise also missed Thursday's practice for non-injury reasons. The fourth-year defensive end was present at New England's facility Friday but did not take the field during the early portion of practice. The Patriots' final injury report of the week, which is slated to be released Friday afternoon, will reveal whether Wise carries an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Wise recorded one strip-sack across 20 defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Steelers.

Wise played rotationally on the defensive line as his snap count accounts for just 29 percent of the defensive reps in the contest. He was still able to make an impact, as he knocked the ball loose from Ben Roethlisberger, though the Steelers were able to recover.

Wise (ankle) was activated from New England's PUP list Friday, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

Wise missed the Patriots' spring offseason program with an ankle injury he sustained towards the end of last season. The 25-year-old is expected to contribute heavily to the Patriots' defensive front unless third-round pick Chase Winovich can eat into his snaps.

New England placed Wise on its Physically Unable to Perform list with an ankle injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Wise was unable to participate in the Patriots' offseason program while wearing a walking boot. When healthy, the 24-year-old is expected to contribute heavily to New England's defensive front unless third-round pick Chase Winovich can eat into his snaps.

Wise has been sidelined from the Patriots' offseason program while wearing a walking boot, Andrew Callahan of Mass Live reports.

Wise battled an ankle injury for much of the end of last season, which forced him to miss the divisional round and the AFC Championship Game before recording five tackles in the Super Bowl win over the Rams. He's projected to be ready to go for the regular season, when he's expected to contribute in a big way unless third-round pick Chase Winovich (thumb) can eat into his snaps.

Wise (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's AFC Championship Game at Kansas City, Kevin Duffy of the Boston Herald reports.

Wise shed his injury designation due to an ankle issue Thursday after practicing fully, so this appears to be a tactical decision for the Patriots. Derek Rivers will continue to start at defensive end, as Wise as been inactive for both playoff games thus far.

Wise is not listed on Thursday's injury report, Nora Princiotti of The Boston Globe reports.

Wise sat out Sunday's divisional-round win over the Chargers due to a knee injury, but appears to have managed a full recovery. The second-year pro is on track to suit up for this weekend's AFC Championship Game at Kansas City, on the heels of a 2018 regular season in which he logged 30 tackles and 4.5 sacks in 16 games, including three starts.

Wise (ankle) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.

Wise was inactive for Sunday's divisional-round win over the Chargers, as the ankle issue forced him to miss his first game of the season. The 24-year-old seems on track to suit up for this weekend's AFC Championship Game at Kansas City.

Wise (ankle) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Wise won't be able to play through his sprained ankle, so he'll be sidelined Sunday while Derek Rivers fills in at defensive end across from Trey Flowers. Adrian Clayborn could see additional work on the defensive line as well.

Wise is still struggling with his sprained ankle and may be held out of Sunday's divisional-round game against the Chargers, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

Wise was expected to play, but an evaluation Sunday morning went worse than expected. If he's ultimately held out, look for Derek Rivers to pick up the start at right defensive end.

Wise (ankle) is expected to be active for Sunday's AFC divisional-round matchup with the Chargers, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

Wise is the only Patriots player on the injury report heading into Sunday's game, and it looks like he is good to go. Expect confirmation closer to kickoff, but he should take on his usual role as the starting right defensive end assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Wise (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's divisional-round playoff game against the Chargers, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.

Wise was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is reportedly expected to suit up versus the Chargers. If the second-year pro were to miss any time, Derek Rivers would benefit from an uptick in snaps.

Wise finished up the 2018 regular season with 30 tackles and 4.5 sacks in 16 games.

While Wise's numbers place him on the fantasy fringe, his sack total was surpassed only by Trey Flowers (7.5). With Flowers eligible to become a free agent this offseason, Wise's profile in the New England defense could expand next season, and in such a scenario he could emerge as an IDP option in 2019.

Wise started at defensive end in Sunday's win over the Bills, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

Wise drew the start with Adrian Clayborn a healthy scratch. Wise managed a few quarterback hurries on the day, but he only recorded a single tackle for his efforts. He'll figure to draw the start once again in Week 17 when the Patriots take on the Jets.

Wise recorded one tackle, a sack, in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Jets.

Wise played 39 percent of New England's defensive snaps and was able to bring down Josh McCown, increasing his sack total to 4.5. The 24-year-old defensive end will look to keep it going against the Vikings on Sunday.

Wise recorded four tackles (three solo), including a sack, in Sunday's game against the Lions.

Wise now has 2.5 sacks on the season. He saw an uptick in snaps with Trey Flowers (concussion) held out and didn't disappoint. Look for Wise to again see significant snaps if Flowers is held out or limited in Week 4 against the Dolphins.

Wise (finger) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Wise suffered a finger injury in Week 2's game against the Jaguars but appears to be unhindered in practice. It seems likely that Wise will suit up against the Lions on Sunday and not miss any time due to the injury.

Wise was spotted with a splint on his middle finger following Monday's team meeting, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Wise injured his middle finger during Sunday's loss to Jacksonville, but the Patriots haven't released any follow-up details. Finger injuries are not typically associated with prolonged absences, so it's likely Wise won't miss much time, if any.
