        Harold Landry's Knee Not Ready Yet

        The Patriots placed Edge Harold Landry on the physically unable to perform list for the start of training camp. It's not a surprise after Landry sat out spring workouts while working back from post-season knee surgery. He suffered the injury in October but played through it the rest of the way and delayed surgery until February, after the Super Bowl.

        Patriots Hold Out Active Robert Spillane

        Patriots LB Robert Spillane made the active roster for Sunday's loss to the Bills after entering the weekend questionable with a foot injury that limited his final two days of practice. If you started him in your IDP lineup, though, you probably noticed that Spillane logged absolutely no stats. That's because New England decided to hold out its lead LB and treat him only as an "emergency" option.

        Kyle Dugger Out vs. Jets

        Patriots S Kyle Dugger is inactive for today's game against the Jets because of an ankle injury. He was a late addition to the injury report, landing on it Saturday with a "questionable" tag. His absence leaves Marte Mapu and Jaylinn Hawkins as the safety starters. Elsewhere on the Patriots defense, Edge Josh Uche is a healthy scratch. That might indicate he's getting traded this week. Uche has seen too little playing time with New England to be fantasy relevant. We'd have to see what his role might look like elsewhere.

        Patriots Add Jabrill Peppers to Injury Report

        The Patriots on Saturday added S Jabrill Peppers to the injury report. He's now questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals with a hip injury. The issue must have come up since the end of Friday's practice. If Peppers can't go, Jaylinn Hawkins would likely start in his place -- according to ESPN's Mike Reiss.

        Ja'Whaun Bentley active vs. Giants

        Patriots LB Ja'Whaun Bentley (hamstring) is active for today's game against the Giants. He might still carry some re-injury risk with the issue that cost him the Week 10 loss to the Colts. Bentley remained limited in practice this week coming off the bye, but that doesn't tell us much about Patriots players. Bentley also carries high fantasy upside because of the matchup, especially in the sack/pressure categories. He sits high in our Week 12 LB rankings. DL Deatrich Wise (shoulder) is also active after entering the day questionable.

        Ja'Whaun Bentley's hamstring still an issue

        Patriots LB Ja'Whaun Bentley is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants. He remained limited in practice all week coming out of the bye, with the injury that cost him their Week 11 game against the Colts. Of course, it's the Patriots. So there's no way for us to know whether Bentley will be inactive for this game or be the new starter at QB. (Bill Belicheck said he told "everybody" to be ready.) We'll check in on the LB's status Sunday morning.

        Ja'Whaun Bentley hurts hamstring

        Patriots LB Ja'Whaun Bentley left Sunday's loss to the Dolphins with a hamstring injury and was ruled out before the end. That doesn't bode well for his Week 9 status against Washington, but we'll watch for further updates. Bentley has been operating as the clear leader among non-edge New England LBs. In his absence, Jahlani Tavai led the way at 94% playing time, followed by Mack Wilson (58%) and rookie Marte Mapu (23%).

        Christian Gonzalez leaves with shoulder injury

        Patriots rookie CB Christian Gonzalez suffered a shoulder injury in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. New England originally deemed him questionable to return but ruled Gonzalez out for the game in the third quarter. We'll see about his outlook for Week 5 against the Saints, and perhaps beyond.

        Update: He dislocated his right shoulder. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Gonzalez is out indefinitely while seeking a second opinion.

        Dugger, Phillips questionable for Week 3

        Patriots S Kyle Dugger (knee), S Adrian Phillips (ribs) and CB Jalen Mills (hamstring) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Dugger missed the 1st 2 practices before returning for a limited Friday workout. Phillips put in limited practices all week and played through his injury in Week 2. Mills popped up on the injury report as limited Thursday but made it for another limited workout Friday. We'll check their statuses Sunday morning. DT Davon Godchaux (back) and LB Raekwon McMillan (thumb) are also questionable.

        Bentley hurts back

        Patriots LB Ja'Whaun Bentley left Sunday's game with a back injury and is questionable to return. We'll see about the severity. He showed up on the injury report this week with a toe issue but was back to full practice by Friday.
