Hawkins' biggest play of the game came late in the first quarter, when he punched the ball out of Derrick Henry's arms to give the Patriots the ball near midfield, and the offense was able to convert the turnover into a one-yard touchdown pass from Drake Maye to Hunter Henry 10 plays later. Hawkins has played every single defensive snap in seven of his last eight games and is up to 69 tackles (43 solo), including 1.5 sacks, four pass defenses (two interceptions), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 13 regular-season games.

Five stops in Week 11 win Hawkins posted five tackles (four solo) during the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday.

Impact Hawkins was nursing a shoulder injury during Week 11 prep, but it didn't seem to bother him Thursday as he played every single defensive snap while finishing tied for the third most tackles on the Patriots. The sixth-year safety has accumulated 43 tackles (32 solo), including 1.5 sacks, two interceptions and one fumble recovery across nine regular-season games.

Nursing shoulder injury Hawkins (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant in Monday's injury report.

Impact Hawkins likely picked up the injury during the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, when he logged six tackles (four solo) while playing 66 of 69 defensive snaps. New England held a walkthrough Monday, so the sixth-year safety will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of Thursday's AFC East clash against the Jets.

Impact Hawkins was cleared to play Sunday after missing the prior two games due to a hamstring injury. The 2020 fourth-rounder played every single defensive snap and arguably made the play of the game in the third quarter, when he made a one-handed, diving pick on a deep pass intended for Isaiah Bond, which led to a 39-yard touchdown pass from Drake Maye to Kayshon Boutte five plays later. It was Hawkins' second interception of the season, which matches his career high from 2021 and 2022.
