INJURIES

Good to go for Week 12 Ekuale (elbow) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Miami.
Impact Ekuale started the week with consecutive limited practices, but he finished strong with a full session Friday and will suit up for Sunday's AFC East clash. Ekuale has logged 13 tackles (five solo) over his last three outings since returning from a one-game absence due to an abdomen injury.
NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Dealing with elbow injury Ekuale was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an elbow injury, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Impact Ekuale appears to have sustained an elbow injury in the Patriots' Week 11 loss to the Rams, despite playing 40 total snaps (33 defensive and seven on special teams) and recording five total tackles. If the 29-year-old is unable to play through the issue in Sunday's divisional matchup against the Dolphins, expect Jeremiah Pharms to see additional work as one of the Patriots' top backup defensive ends.
NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE
Active for Week 10 Ekuale (abdomen) is absent from the Patriots' inactive list for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Impact After missing the Patriots' Week 8 win over the Jets due to an abdominal injury, he was able to play through the issue against the Titans in Week 9. He opened the week with back-to-back limited practices but was upgraded to a full participant Friday, and the 30-year-old will suit up for Sunday's contest. Ekuale has logged a career-high 30 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks, over eight regular-season games.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Sunday Ekuale (abdomen) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears.
Impact Ekuale upgraded to full practice Friday after opening the week with back-to-back limited sessions, so it appears he's trending toward playing in Sunday's contest. However, if the Washington State product is unable to play through his abdomen issue, expect Jeremiah Pharms and Deatrich Wise to see increased snaps with New England's first-team defensive line.
NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Active in defeat Ekuale finished with seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Titans.
Impact The defensive lineman also played on more than 60 percent of the defensive snaps for the eighth time in his eight games this season. Ekuale already has a career-high 30 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks, in 2024.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Ready to go for Week 9 Ekuale (abdomen) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's matchup with the Titans.
Impact Ekuale missed the team's Week 8 win over the Jets due to an abdomen industry, but he was able to work up to being a full participant at practice Friday. The 30-year-old will likely be back in his starting role on New England's defensive line against Tennessee.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Logs limited session Wednesday Ekuale (abdomen) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Ekuale likely sustained an abdomen injury in Patriots practice that forced him to miss Week 8's win over the Jets. However, Wednesday's limited session suggests he could return as soon as Week 9, when the Patriots face the Titans. His participation in practice Thursday and Friday will provide the best indication of whether he can suit up Sunday.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play vs. Jets Ekuale (abdomen) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Impact Ekuale popped up on Thursday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to an abdomen injury. He downgraded to a DNP on Friday, and the 30-year-old will miss his first game of the 2024 regular season. Deatrich Wise is the top candidate to get the start at defensive end Sunday alongside Keion White, and Eric Johnson should see increased snaps on defense while serving in a rotational depth role.
