New England Patriots

Marcus Bryant

OT

Bryant has opened the week with back-to-back full sessions with the Patriots, and he may be trending towards a return to action in the near future. The offensive lineman has missed the entirety of the 2026 campaign to this point after picking up an ankle injury during the preseason, but the team opened his 21-day practice window Wednesday. With New England traveling to face the Bears on Thursday, Bryant may not be ready to go in advance of Week 7, but Wednesday's injury report will provide more clarity towards his status.

Morgan Moses

OT

Moses sustained an ankle injury during the team's Week 6 win against the Jets, and he has now opened the week with back-to-back limited sessions. The offensive lineman will have one more chance to log a full practice before the team travels to face the Bears on Thursday Night Football.

Alijah Vera-Tucker

G

Vrabel did not rule Vera-Tucker out completely, but it looks like he's likely in line to sit out his first game of the 2026 season due to the hamstring injury he suffered during Sunday's game versus the Jets. Regular starting right guard Ben Brown (knee) is also looking like a bad bet to suit up in Week 7, and if both he and Vera-Tucker are sidelined, 2024 sixth-rounder Walter Rouse and veteran Matt Pryor would project as the Patriots' starting guards for Thursday.

Ben Brown

C

Vrabel stopped short of ruling out Brown completely, but it seems like it will be an uphill battle for him to try to be ready to play in Week 7. With regular starting left guard Alijah Vera-Tucker (hamstring) also trending in the wrong direction ahead of Thursday's contest, 2024 sixth-rounder Walter Rouse and veteran Matt Pryor might both be called on to start against a defense that has flashed at times so far this year.

Carlton Davis III

CB

Davis has missed the Patriots' last two games due to a neck injury, but it was a promising sign to see him on the field for Tuesday's practice, even in a limited capacity. The Patriots will announce injury designations following Wednesday's practice, at which point Davis' status for Thursday's game against the Bears will be clearer. If he's not cleared to return, then Charles Woods likely will remain the Patriots' second starting outside cornerback opposite Christian Gonzalez.

A.J. Brown

WR

Brown returned from a four-game absence this past Sunday against the Jets. He's been limited in each of the first two sessions of Week 7 prep, and the veteran wide receiver told reporters after Tuesday's practice that his ankle is "feeling good," per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. Wednesday's injury report should clarify whether the Patriots' top WR will be fully cleared for Thursday night's game against the Bears.

Andy Borregales

PK

All of Borregales' kick attempts came from within 35 yards, with his longest field goal coming from 32 yards. He missed his first extra point of the season, and through six games he has gone 8-for-10 on field-goal attempts and 14-for-15 on extra-point tries. The Patriots will operate on a short practice week ahead of Thursday's road tilt against the Bears.

Corey Kiner

RB

Kiner stepped into a more prominent role in the backfield behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson in Week 6. With Henderson limited by an ankle injury, Kiner was able to log four more carries than Henderson's seven. Additionally, Kiner averaged 5.2 yards per carry, which was double the 2.6 YPC that Stevenson produced over 14 totes. It's unclear what role Kiner will play when Henderson is back to full health, but he certainly proved he can be productive with an increased workload.

Romeo Doubs

WR

With Doubs already on injured reserve, this report offers a more encouraging timeline after Sunday's shoulder injury. He'll still need to miss at least four games, but a possible return after the bye would keep the Patriots from being without one of their key wide receivers for an extended stretch. Efton Chism and Kyle Williams will be in line for increased snaps alongside A.J. Brown and slot man DeMario Douglas with Doubs sidelined.

Behren Morton

QB

Dametrious Crownover

OT

TreVeyon Henderson

RB

Henderson beat the odds by suiting up for Sunday's contest despite what has been reported to be a high-ankle sprain. He was just five yards short of backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson's rushing total despite seeing half the carries, but Henderson's mid-third-quarter fumble did lead to a Jets field goal. Henderson now has a quick turnaround for a Week 7 road matchup against the Bears on Thursday night, so it appears likely he slots into a complementary role again for that contest.

Rhamondre Stevenson

RB

Stevenson saw twice the rushing workload of backfield mate TreVeyon Henderson but gained only five more yards. Stevenson also recorded 12 of his yards on one carry, so he ran for next to nothing on his other 13 rush attempts in what was his second-least productive game on the ground this season. Henderson did lose a fumble Sunday and is managing what is reportedly a high-ankle sprain, so Stevenson is likely to remain the lead option during a Week 7 road matchup against the Bears on Thursday night.

Drake Maye

QB

Maye got A.J. Brown back from a four-game stint on injured reserve due to an ankle injury, but he lost Romeo Doubs to a shoulder injury on a 42-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. That TD was the first of the third-year signal-caller's trio of scoring tosses on the afternoon. Maye connected with DeMario Douglas (nine yards) and Hunter Henry (seven yards) for his other TD strikes, and although he and Brown managed to connect on only three of 10 targets, it was just the second game together for the duo. Maye and the Patriots are right back in action Thursday night for a Week 7 road showdown against the Bears.

Hunter Henry

TE

Henry's seven-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter proved to be the game-winning score, putting New England ahead 23-16. After not finding the end zone the first four weeks of the season, Henry has scored in back-to-back games. The veteran tight end has been held under 50 yards receiving in five of six contests. He's the definition of a touchdown-or-bust fantasy bet ahead of Thursday's game with the Bears.

DeMario Douglas

WR

A.J. Brown returned to the lineup from his ankle injury and led the team with 10 targets, but he dropped multiple passes and finished with a 3-27-0 receiving line. After Romeo Doubs left with a shoulder injury early in the first half following a long touchdown grab, Douglas stepped into an increased offensive role. He ran 26 routes on Drake Maye's 35 dropbacks, and Douglas caught a nine-yard touchdown in the second quarter. He's posted back-to-back big box scores after logging 4-65-2 receiving last Sunday against Las Vegas. The Patriots' slot man doesn't have a big fantasy ceiling but looks like a passable WR4 during bye-week crunches headed into Thursday night's game against the Bears.

Will Campbell

OT

Campbell sprained his right MCL in the Patriots' Week 5 win over the Raiders. The offensive tackle logged three limited practices during Week 6 prep and will attempt to play through the injury in Sunday's game.

Craig Woodson

S

Christian Elliss

LB

Charles Woods

CB

Woods aggravated a shoulder injury in Week 5 against the Raiders, but he's been cleared to play Sunday after logging a full practice Friday. He has 22 tackles (16 solo) and three pass defenses through the first five games of the regular season.

Dre'Mont Jones

DE

Jones played through a shoulder injury in the Patriots' Week 5 win over the Raiders. The pass rusher logged 57 percent of the Patriots' defensive snaps in the game and will likely have a similar snap share in Week 6 against the Jets.
