Questionable for Week 9 Dugger (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

Impact Dugger was a limited participant at each of New England's three practice this week, but his status remains up in the air for Week 9. If he is forced to miss a second game in a row due to his ankle injury, Jaylinn Hawkins will likely draw another start at strong safety versus Tennessee.

Limited Wednesday Dugger (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Dugger missed the Patriots' Week 8 win over the Jets due to an ankle injury likely sustained in practice, but Wednesday's limited session indicates he could be nearing a return to the field. His participation Thursday and Friday will provide the best indication of whether he can return in Week 9, when the Patriots travel to Tennessee.

Will miss Week 8 Dugger (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Dugger was a late addition to New England's injury report, as he practiced in full both Thursday and Friday before getting added to the report with a tag of questionable Saturday. The severity of his ankle issue isn't clear, but the injury is going to sideline him for at least Sunday's AFC East clash. Dugger's absence will be a significant blow to the Patriots' secondary, as the safety logged 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps in five of the team's seven contests coming into Week 8. When Dugger was sidelined Week 5 against Miami, Jaylinn Hawkins stepped into a starting role, and that will likely be the case again Sunday.
