Patriots Week 4 injury report: Cole Strange remains limited

Here’s Thursday’s Week 4 injury report for the Patriots

A banged-up offensive line is never good news ahead of a road matchup against All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys. Yet, that could be the situation facing the New England Patriots when they arrive at AT&T Stadium on Sunday.

The Patriots were back on the practice field on Thursday, and once again, five players were limited.

However, the most concerning player on that list was second-year guard Cole Strange, who has been hobbled with a knee injury. Strange looked really limited to the point where he was barely participating in drills in the portion of practice that was open to media members.

The ability to slow down Parsons could mean the difference between a win and a loss for the Patriots. Granted, Mac Jones has been better under pressure, but he probably doesn’t want to play a cat-and-mouse game with a physical specimen like Parsons.

The offensive front for the Patriots must come up big on Sunday, and if Strange can’t play, it’s going to take an even greater effort from the reserves to fill that void.

Here’s every player listed on Thursday’s injury report for the Patriots:

Patriots Week 3 inactives: Trent Brown IN, Jonathan Jones OUT vs. Jets

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

The New England Patriots will have their four primary starting offensive linemen in the lineup for the first time in the 2023 season.

Trent Brown, Mike Onwenu, Cole Strange and David Andrews will all be on the field for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets.

It has been a revolving door at right tackle for the Patriots. So it remains to be seen how that position will shake out when facing a tough Jets defense. New England could give extended work to Vederian Lowe, or they could roll veteran Calvin Anderson out for a third straight week.

Regardless, the offensive line will be in a much better position to protect quarterback Mac Jones and finally get the run game going. Here’s the full list of inactives for the Patriots and Jets:

Cornerback Jonathan Jones was ruled out for the game on Saturday. So the Patriots will be entering this game depleted in the defensive backfield.

It’ll be down to rookie first-round draft pick Christian Gonzalez, Myles Bryant and Shaun Wade to hold off a Jets receiving corps spearheaded by star wideout Garrett Wilson.

Patriots downgrade two players as out for Sunday’s game vs. Jets

Two injured Patriots players have been downgraded as out on Sunday.

The New England Patriots will be shorthanded in the defensive backfield for another week with veteran Jonathan Jones being officially ruled out for the team ahead of Sunday’s game.

Rookie offensive lineman Sidy Sow was also ruled out by the team.

Injuries on the offensive line and at cornerback have been the story of the season for the Patriots. This might be the first week that the primary starters—Trent Brown, David Andrews, Cole Strange and Mike Onwenu—are on the field together in the 2023 season.

Meanwhile, the Patriots just placed second-year cornerback Marcus Jones on injured reserve. Jack Jones has also been on injured reserve. With Jonathan Jones banged up, the team went out and signed rookie cornerback Azizi Hearns and veteran Breon Borders to the practice squad.

New England will now be down to rookie Christian Gonzalez, Myles Bryant and Shaun Wade as their top cornerback options heading into a pivotal divisional matchup against the Jets on Sunday.

Patriots Week 3 injury report: Rookie OL Sidy Sow suffers setback on Thursday

Two Patriots players did not participate in Thursday’s practice.

The New England Patriots are getting healthier, but they had a bit of a setback with rookie offensive lineman Sidy Sow on Thursday.

On the team’s injury report, it was revealed that the fourth-round draft pick did not participate at practice. Sow has been working his way back from a concussion that kept him out of the Week 2 game against the Miami Dolphins.

There was hope that he was improving after he was listed as a limited participant at practice on Wednesday. So the fact that he missed this time around could indicate there was some sort of a setback. Concussions are tricky injuries with a varied timetable of recovery.

Meanwhile, Patriots cornerback Marcus Jones was still out with the shoulder injury he suffered in the Dolphins game. Here is the full injury report for the Patriots on Thursday:

Week 3 injury report: Patriots looking significantly healthier ahead of Jets game

Multiple players returned to practice for the Patriots on Wednesday.

The New England Patriots looked significantly healthier on the practice field on Wednesday, ahead of what could be looked at as a must-win game against the New York Jets.

They released their injury report, and only two players were listed as non-participants with one being an excused absence for defensive lineman Davon Godchaux, who was in the delivery room with his fiancee.

Cornerback Jonathan Jones and left tackle Trent Brown were back on the field. Both missed last Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins, and there’s hope they’ll be well enough to return for Week 3.

The one new name on the injured list as a limited participant is defensive lineman Christian Barmore with a knee injury. That could be something to keep an eye on over the next couple of days.

Here’s every player that appeared on the injury report on Wednesday:

Patriots get key contributors back for Wednesday’s practice

Key injured playmakers on both sides of the ball returned to practice for the Patriots on Wednesday.

There was some good news for the New England Patriots on the injury front Wednesday. Left tackle Trent Brown was back at practice, as well as corner Jonathan Jones and guard Sidy Sow

Brown’s return is particularly notable for a Patriots offensive line that needs bodies back on the unit. New England’s cornerback unit has been solid as of late, with rookie Christian Gonzalez stepping up and playing at a high level. Still, Jones being back will be important, as New England gets set for one of the toughest stretches in their schedule.

Marcus Jones and Davon Godchaux were the only players absent on Wednesday, per a report from NESN.com’s Dakota Randall.

New England needs depth on the offensive line, as the hits on quarterback Mac Jones continue to add up in the pocket. It appears the cavalry could be on the way in time to face a tough New York Jets defense.

Patriots Week 2 inactives: Jonathan Jones OUT, Mike Onwenu IN vs Dolphins

Jonathan Jones, Trent Brown and five others have been ruled out for Sunday’s game.

There was a mixture of good and bad news with the New England Patriots inactives list ahead of Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins.

Let’s start with the good news.

The Patriots will have their two starting guards, Mike Onwenu and Cole Strange, available for the first time in the season. Wide receiver DeVante Parker will also be active in the game.

However, New England will be without top cornerback Jonathan Jones and rookie wide receiver Kayshon Boutte. That will leave rookie cornerback Christian Gonzalez and second-year defensive back Marcus Jones as the top players tasked with defending Dolphins wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Left tackle Trent Brown being out is also a big problem for the Patriots. Along with rookie offensive lineman Sidy Sow, Brown has been listed with a concussion throughout the practice week. So there were doubts he’d suit up and play.

The Patriots already have Calvin Anderson manning the right tackle position. So it’ll be interesting to see how they cover up the huge vacancy in the protection role for quarterback Mac Jones’ blindside.

There are plenty of questions facing the New England Patriots ahead of their Week 2 divisional showdown with the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.

Such is the case for a team coming off a heartbreaking loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last week. The possibility of starting 0-2 on the season is a scary thought for a Patriots team with the hardest schedule in the NFL this year.

Can they turn it around against Miami?

The Patriots Wire staff already gave their predictions on the matchup, and unlike last week’s game, most have the Patriots winning. Let’s delve deeper into some burning questions still facing New England heading into Week 2.

Patriots Week 2 injury report: Top CB limited at Thursday’s practice

CB Jonathan Jones was the newest addition to the Patriots’ growing injury list.

The New England Patriots were back on the practice field on Thursday, and injuries are still clearly an issue for the team, despite only being in Week 2 of the regular season.

Top cornerback Jonathan Jones was the newest addition to the injury report, which also included the entire Patriots’ starting offensive line. Jones is dealing with an ankle injury and was listed as a limited participant at practice.

For a second straight day, offensive tackle Trent Brown and lineman Sidy Sow were the only two players that did not participate.

Here is the full list of players named in the injury report for Thursday’s practice.

 

Patriots Week 2 injury report: More injuries at OL and WR

The offensive line and wide receiver positions continue to take hits in the Patriots’ latest injury report.

The New England Patriots released their first injury report ahead of their Week 2 showdown with the Miami Dolphins, and things are scarier than ever before on the offensive side of the ball.

Multiple players, including offensive linemen and wide receivers, were listed as either limited participants or non-participants at Wednesday’s practice.

Health has been an issue for the offensive line throughout training camp and the preseason. Unfortunately for the Patriots, those issues have lingered into the regular season with both starting guards, Mike Onwenu and Cole Strange, working their way back from injuries.

But those concerns were compounded in the recent report with three more names on the list. The same could be said about wide receiver with DeVante Parker working his way back from a knee injury.

Here is the full list of players on Wednesday’s injury report:
