Patriots vs. Rams inactives: Deatrich Wise Jr. OUT, Kyle Dugger IN

Who’s in and who’s out for the Patriots in Week 11?

Kyle Dugger will be returning to the defensive backfield for the New England Patriots’ Week 11 showdown with the Los Angeles Rams.

The veteran safety has missed the last two weeks due to an ankle injury, but he returned to practice this week and went through Sunday’s pregame warmups without any setbacks.

Unfortunately for the Patriots, it isn’t all good news.

Defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr., who generated two sacks and one pass deflection in last week’s win over the Chicago Bears, has officially been ruled out with a foot injury. Wise being out is a huge blow to a Patriots defensive line that just got Christian Barmore back this week.

Here are the full list of inactives for the Patriots and Rams in Week 11:

The Patriots will be looking to win back-to-back games for the first time this season. Even though the offense has improved with Drake Maye at quarterback, the outcome of this game could ultimately come down to the defense for New England.

It’ll be a defense that will have to find success without one of their best pass-rushers on the field.
