Good to go for Week 6 Woods (shoulder) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Limited in practice Wednesday Woods (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Woods exited the Patriots' Week 5 win over the Raiders early with a shoulder injury and did not return. The cornerback likely aggravated a pre-existing issue in the contest but was still able to suit up for practice Wednesday. Woods played through the injury to start the Week 5 contest and will likely do the same for Week 6 against the Jets unless Carlton Davis (neck) and Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) are healthy enough to reclaim their starting spots at outside cornerback.

Exits with shoulder injury Woods (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact Woods overcame a shoulder injury to play in Sunday's contest. The cornerback may have aggravated the injury during the course of the game, making it uncertain how significant the injury remains. Fourth-string defensive back Elliott Davison is set to operate opposite third-string option Kindle Vildor at outside cornerback due to the injuries to the Patriots' secondary.

Set to play Woods (shoulder) is active Week 5 against the Raiders.

Impact Woods suiting up was essentially a necessity for New England, who has four cornerbacks listed on the inactive list Sunday. The third-year defensive back -- who has 18 combined tackles through the first four weeks -- should be in line for a heavy snap count.

Questionable for Week 5 Woods (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact The Patriots' secondary is already without starting outside corners Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) and Carlton Davis (neck), so having Woods available for Sunday's game would be a big help for New England. Woods has 18 tackles (14 solo) and one pass defense through four regular-season games.
