Remains inactive at practice Cowart has remained on the sideline for practices thus far at mandatory minicamp due to an unspecified injury, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

Impact The defensive end has yet to return to practice after he missed all of last season while on the PUP list. Cowart last played in 2020, making 27 tackles including a sack with a pass deflection over 14 games. He's expected to be a reserve option behind Christian Barmore and Davon Godchaux this season.

Won't come off PUP list Coach Bill Belichick said Wednesday that Cowart (undisclosed) will remain on the PUP list, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Cowart was placed on the reserve/PUP list prior to the start of the regular season, and though he was designated for a return Oct. 20, he will ultimately remain sidelined for all of 2021. The 2019 fifth-round pick will focus his attention toward getting healthy for 2022.

NOVEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Designated to return from PUP list The Patriots designated Cowart (undisclosed) to return from the PUP list Wednesday, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Cowart has been on the PUP list since late July, but he has finally returned to practice, which begins the 21-day period for him to be added to the active roster. If he isn't, he will remain on the PUP list for the remainder of the season. Last year, the 25-year-old played in 14 games and registered the second-most defensive tackle snaps for the Patriots, but his role may be slightly diminished when he returns due to the addition of 38th overall pick Christian Barmore.

OCTOBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to reserve/PUP list The Patriots placed Cowart (undisclosed) on the reserve/PUP list Wednesday.

Impact Cowart will be eligible to come off the PUP list as soon as Week 7, though the nature and severity of his injury remain undisclosed. He notched 27 tackles (14 solo), one sack and one pass breakup across 14 appearances last season.

Lands on PUP Cowart (undisclosed) was placed on the preseason PUP list Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The extent and nature of Cowart's injury is unknown, and he can be activated off the list at any point during training camp. Last year, the 25-year-old played in 14 games and registered the second-most defensive tackle snaps for the Patriots. However, his role may be diminished this season as New England selected Christian Barmore 38th overall, making him the first defensive tackle off the board in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Clear to face Chargers Cowart (back) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.

Impact A back injury held Cowart out last Sunday against the Cardinals after he resided on the reserve/COVID-19 list between Oct. 11 and Oct. 21. He's started all nine games that he's appeared in thus far in 2020, collecting a total of 23 tackles and two tackles for loss.

DECEMBER 6, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Week 12 Cowart (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against Arizona.

Impact The 24-year-old will be sidelined for at least one game due to the back injury. Isaiah Mack should have an increased role on the defensive line in Cowart's absence.

NOVEMBER 29, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Returns from coronavirus The Patriots activated Cowart from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Cowart tested positive for COVID-19 on Oct. 11, but, as evidenced by this news, he's turned in two negative test results 24 hours apart. The Maryland product has supplied eight tackles (three solo) in four games this season, so he'll likely assume his usual rotational role across the Patriot defensive line for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

OCTOBER 21, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Tests positive for coronavirus Cowart tested positive for COVID-19 late Saturday, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports. The Patriots will place him on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Impact Cowart becomes the third Patriots player to test positive for COVID-19 in just over a week, joining quarterback Cam Newton and cornerback Stephon Gilmore. His positive test resulted in New England shutting down its facility Sunday for the third time in 10 days, with the NFL subsequently postponing the Patriots' game Monday against the Broncos until Sunday, Oct. 18. Cowart could gain clearance to play Week 6, but he'll first need to submit two negative COVID-19 test results at least 24 hours apart.
