Impact Chaisson sacked Baker Mayfield during New England's 28-23 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday, but the former appears to have sustained an ankle injury during that game.

Impact Chaisson is pacing for his best season in terms of rushing the passer, though he was quiet in Sunday's win. The Patriots logged only one sack as a team, so Chaisson will look to get back on track in Week 9 against the Falcons.

Impresses in Week 7 Chaisson tallied three total tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Titans.

Impact Chaisson found the end zone for the first time in his NFL career during Sunday's win, returning a Cam Ward fumble for a four-yard score in the third quarter. The veteran edge rusher has already tallied 4.5 sacks through his first six games in 2025, which is just a half-sack short of his previous best in a single season. He's expected to continue starting opposite Harold Landry to form New England's top pass-rush duo ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Browns.

Ready for Week 6 Chaisson (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints.

Impact The 2020 first-round pick from LSU upgraded from limited practice Thursday to a full session Friday, suggesting he's moved past his knee issue in time to face New Orleans on Sunday. Chaisson has appeared in four games for the Patriots this season, recording nine total tackles, including 2.5 sacks. Now healthy again, he's expected to start opposite Harold Landry to form New England's top edge-rushing duo in Week 6.

Limited to open week Chaisson (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact A knee injury prevented Chaisson from playing in the Patriots' Week 5 win over the Bills. The 2020 first-rounder is still limited by the injury, but a full practice Thursday or Friday would put him in position to play against the Saints on Sunday. Chaisson's return would likely mean less snaps at outside linebacker for Keion White (elbow) and Elijah Ponder.

Won't play in Week 5 Chaisson (knee) has downgraded and been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills.

Impact Chaisson was initially listed as questionable due to a knee injury likely sustained in the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Panthers. Despite upgrading to limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday, the 2020 first-round pick won't be able to suit up Sunday. In his absence, Elijah Ponder is likely to start opposite Harold Landry on New England's defense.

Could play Sunday Chaisson (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Chaisson opened the Patriots' week of practice with a DNP, but he upgraded to a limited session Thursday, suggesting he's trending toward playing in Sunday's affair. However, if the former first-round pick is unable to suit up in Week 5, Elijah Ponder is likely to see increased reps with the Patriots' first-team defense.

Logs limited practice Thursday Chaisson (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Chaisson is working through a knee injury that he likely picked up during the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Panthers. He managed to practice in a limited capacity Thursday after missing Wednesday's session, and Friday's injury report will provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's AFC East road bout against the Bills. Anfernee Jennings and Keion White would be the top candidates to start at edge rusher opposite Harold Landry if Chaisson is unable to play.

Chaisson logged a DNP-LP-FP practice slate before suiting up versus Carolina, and he'll attempt to gain clearance for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bills via a similar practice pattern.
