Jaquelin Roy - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Hits free agency The Patriots did not extend a franchise tender offer to Roy (undisclosed) by Wednesday's deadline, making him a free agent, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Roy missed the entire 2025 season due to an undisclosed injury but is now presumably healthy and ready to search for a new landing spot in the NFL. He logged six regular-season appearances (one start) with New England in 2024, totaling 17 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, in that span.

Placed on IR The Patriots placed Roy (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Roy dealt with a foot injury at the end of the 2024 season and was limited by the issue earlier in the offseason program. It's unclear if the new injury is related to that previous issue. Roy appeared in six regular-season contests for New England last season, making one start. He finished the campaign with 17 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks. Roy will spend 2025 on injured reserve unless he's cut with an injury settlement at a later date.

Back at practice Roy (foot) returned to practice Wednesday, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact After being placed on the injured reserve and ruled out for the season last December, Roy has made his first appearance back on the field. The 2023 fifth-round pick was a limited participant during OTAs in the spring as he aims for a rotational role on the defensive line. In six games last season, he recorded 17 tackles and three tackles for loss.

Still nursing injury Roy (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's voluntary OTAs, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Roy was placed on injured reserve in December of 2024 due to a foot injury, but it now appears he's nearly past the issue. The third-year pro appeared in just six games for the Patriots last season, logging 17 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, across 135 defensive snaps. Once the LSU product returns to full health, he's expected to serve as one of the Patriots' top reserve defensive linemen in 2025.

Lands on IR, done for season The Patriots placed Roy (foot) on injured reserve Friday.

Impact Roy last played Week 10 against Chicago, when he aggravated a neck injury and was forced him to exit the contest early. The second-year defensive tackle now appears to be dealing with a foot issue. Because a stint on IR requires a four-game absence, and the 3-10 Patriots have only four games remaining in the regular season while being already eliminated from playoff contention, Roy won't play again this season. He'll finish the 2024 campaign with 17 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, over six contests.

Remains sidelined for Week 13 Roy (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Impact Roy will be sidelined for a third straight game due to a neck injury he suffered against the Bears in Week 10. He was at least able to practice in a limited capacity all week, and he'll look to take advantage of the extra rest courtesy of the Patriots' Week 14 bye and aim to return in Week 15 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Dec. 15. Jeremiah Pharms will continue to see an uptick in rotational snaps on New England's defensive line due to Roy's injury.

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Missing another contest Roy (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 12 game against Miami.

Impact Roy will miss his second consecutive contest due to a neck injury he suffered Week 10 versus Chicago. The second-year nose tackle has worked in a rotational role when healthy this season, totaling 17 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, over six contests. Jeremiah Pharms could be asked to log more defensive snaps in Roy's stead Sunday.

NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined Roy (neck) did not practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Roy hasn't practiced or played since suffering the injury in Week 10 against the Bears. He'll likely have to get on the field in some capacity Thursday if he's going to have any chance of playing in Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined for Week 11 Roy (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Impact Roy suffered a neck injury during the Patriots' Week 10 win over the Bears. The injury prevented him from practicing all week, and he will miss his fifth game of the regular season. With Deatrich Wise (foot) also inactive, the Patriots' defensive line will look to Daniel Ekuale, Eric Johnson and Jeremiah Pharms to provide depth behind starters Keion White, Davon Godchaux and Christian Barmore.

NOVEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Exits game with neck injury Roy (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Roy was listed as questionable for Week 10 due to a neck injury, and it appears he has aggravated the issue during Sunday's game. Deatrich Wise and Jeremiah Pharms may see some snaps in the interior offensive line behind starting nose tackle Davon Godchaux while Roy is sidelined.

Missing another week Roy (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions, Matthew Coller of The Purple Insider reports.

Impact Roy is in line to miss his second consecutive game Sunday as he continues to recover from an ankle issue. With the rookie out of LSU missing more time in Week 18, expect Sheldon Day to shoulder an increased workload on the Vikings' defensive line.

JANUARY 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Week 17 Roy (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday night's game against the Packers, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 2023 fifth-round pick out of LSU was held out of practice all week with an ankle issue, so it's no surprise that he'll be inactive in Week 17. Roy has logged eight total tackles and one tackle for loss in his 12 appearances this season, and Sheldon Day will likely see increased work on the Vikings' defensive line in Roy's stead.
