INJURIES

Pops up on injury report Bentley (groin) was a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate.
Impact Bentley missed a pair of games earlier this season due to a groin injury, and it may be lingering, as he logged a season-low 35 percent snap share in Sunday's 45-0 win over the Chargers. With a short week, his status is uncertain for Thursday's game against the Rams. Anfernee Jennings likely will step in if Bentley can't go.

Team's top tackler by wide margin Bentley registered 13 total tackles during Sunday's 20-17 win against the Cardinals.
Impact Not only did Bentley have six more tackles than the Patriots' second-leading player, Terez Hall, but he also saved some of his stops for key moments in Sunday's contest. The 24-year-old helped turn away Kenyan Drake at New England's one-yard line on a 4th-and-goal while the clock expired in the second quarter. Later, he combined with Hall to stop Drake again on a 3rd-and-2 on Arizona's final drive of the game, forcing a 45-yard Zane Gonzalez attempt that would be no good. With nine starts to his name in nine appearances this season, Bentley prepares for a crucial Week 13 matchup against the Chargers.
DECEMBER 1, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Ready for Week 11 Bentley (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Impact The 24-year-old was sidelined the past two games by the groin injury, but he'll be back on the field for Week 11. Besides the game in which he suffered the injury, Bentley has played at least 80 percent of defensive snaps when available for the Patriots this season.
NOVEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Won't face Ravens Bentley (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Impact Bentley was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup after practicing in a limited fashion all week, but he'll ultimately need more time before retaking the field. Terez Hall and Cassh Maluia could see an uptick in defensive snaps with Bentley out.
NOVEMBER 16, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Considered questionable for SNF Bentley (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Ravens.
Impact Bentley was able to practice in a limited fashion all week, so he has a good chance to return to action after missing last week's close win over the Jets. The third-year linebacker out of Purdue has made seven starts this season and racked up 45 tackles, 1.5 sacks and two pass breakups in the process.
NOVEMBER 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Monday Bentley (groin) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the Jets.
Impact The 24-year-old was originally considered questionable for Monday's contest after practicing as a limited participant, but he's now been ruled out. Cassh Maluia is expected to start at inside linebacker in Bentley's place.
NOVEMBER 8, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Hampered by groin injury Bentley (groin) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Impact Bentley exited last week's game against the Bills with a groin injury, and he's been limited through the first two practices this week. He has one more practice Saturday to upgrade to full participation, otherwise, he'll carry an injury tag into Monday's divisional tilt against the Jets. Cassh Maluia is expected to start at inside linebacker if Bentley can't go.
NOVEMBER 7, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Managing groin issue Bentley exited Sunday's loss to the Bills due to a groin injury.
Impact Bentley totaled five tackles and a sack before exiting during the second half. The 24-year-old was considered questionable to return, and the game ended about 10 minutes after the injury was announced.
NOVEMBER 1, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Records career high in stops Bentley posted 12 tackles and a half sack in Sunday's 18-12 loss to the Broncos.
Impact Bently was named the Patriots' starting inside linebacker during training camp, and he got off to a modest start to 2020, recording at least four tackles but no more than six stops in each of the first four games. The third-year pro exploded Sunday, though, leading the team in tackles and reaching a new career high in the process. He had plenty of opportunities since the Broncos' running backs carried 32 times, so this performance could be tough to replicate in a different game script.
OCTOBER 19, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Opportunity knocks Bentley is in line to see more action in the Patriots defense this coming season, NESN's Zack Cox reports.
Impact With Jamie Collins, Kyle Van Noy and Elandon Roberts having left via free agency and Donta Hightower having opted out of this season, Bentley's inside linebacker responsibilities are slated to grow in 2020. Most notably, he'll be tasked with replacing Hightower as the Patriots' defensive play-caller. Bentley, who turns 24 later this month, logged 44 tackles in his second season with New England in 2019, but the 2018 fifth-rounder is bound to see a spike in production in his expanded role and could emerge as a reliable IDP.
