New England Patriots News

Anfernee Jennings - Questionable for Sunday Jennings (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Despite a full week of practice, Jennings is still listed as questionable. The Alabama product has recorded 22 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, across four games this season. If he's unable to suit up in Week 6, expect Curtis Jacobs or Christian Elliss to serve as the Patriots' top left outside linebacker.

Kyle Dugger - Could return Sunday Dugger (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Dugger upgraded to limited participation Thursday and Friday after logging a DNP to begin the Patriots' week of practice, suggesting that he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest. If Dugger is unable to suit up in Week 6, expect Jaylinn Hawkins to serve as New England's top strong safety.

Kendrick Bourne - Questionable for Sunday Bourne (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans after practicing in a limited fashion this week.

Impact Given that Bourne was on the reserve/PUP list through Week 4 as he bounced back from a knee injury he sustained Oct. 29, 2023, it's not surprising that the Patriots are easing the wideout back into the mix. We'd expect Bourne to be available to face Houston on Sunday, with confirmation of his status set to arrive once New England's inactives are known ahead of the team's 1:00 ET kickoff. After logging a 27 percent snap share in his season debut versus Miami in Week 5, Bourne could see an uptick in playing time in QB Drake Maye's first NFL regular-season start, but until the veteran pass-catcher gets a full and productive game in, he's a speculative fantasy option.

Antonio Gibson - Set for more work with Stevenson out Gibson is in line for a larger workload Sunday against the Texans with Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) ruled out for the contest, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Gibson thus should earn a second consecutive start, but he also won't have to worry about Stevenson taking some of the backfield reps this time around due to the latter's foot injury. Through five contests this season, Gibson has averaged 8.6 touches per game, so it's unclear how many more reps he may be able to handle in the Patriots offense. On the other hand, Sunday also will mark Drake Maye's first career start, meaning the game plan may be more ground-based to alleviate pressure on the rookie quarterback. In the end, Gibson is poised to handle a healthy portion of New England's RB snaps and may only have to contend with JaMycal Hasty and practice-squad members Kevin Harris and Terrell Jennings for touches.

K.J. Osborn - Questionable after three LPs Osborn (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Mark Daniels of MassLive reports.

Impact Osborn's questionable after a trio of limited practices. If he suits up, Osborn will be catching passes from rookie third overall pick Drake Maye, who has supplanted Jacoby Brissett as New England's starting quarterback.

Rhamondre Stevenson - Won't play Sunday Stevenson (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Though Stevenson's foot issue isn't considered a long-term concern, he'll miss at least one game after not practicing this week. In his absence versus Houston, Antonio Gibson figures to handle the bulk of the Patriots' Week 6 carries, with JaMycal Hasty in reserve and practice squad members Terrell Jennings and Kevin Harris being potential candidates for elevation.

Rhamondre Stevenson - Not spotted at practice Stevenson (foot) wasn't spotted during the initial portion of Friday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Stevenson didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so his continued absence is concerning ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. Per Reiss, coach Jerod Mayo noted that Stevenson's foot injury isn't viewed as a long-term concern, but if the running back is out this weekend, Antonio Gibson would be in line for the Week 6 start, with JaMycal Hasty in reserve and practice squad members Terrell Jennings and Kevin Harris candidates for elevation.

Kendrick Bourne - Still limited at practice Bourne (knee) remainedlimited at practice Thursday.

Impact Bourne was also limited Wednesday, but chances are his limitations are maintenance-related, rather than indicative of any setbacks with the knee injury that kept him on the PUP list through Week 4. Friday's injury report will reveal whether the wideout approaches Sunday's game against the Texans with an injury designation or fully cleared for Week 6 action.

Kyle Dugger - Gets back on field Dugger (ankle) was a limited participant during practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Dugger hasn't stepped on the field since suffering the ankle injury in the Patriots' Week 4 loss to the 49ers. Although the team never really offered a timeline for his recovery, he did supposedly dodge a serious injury, so a return this week is possible. More clarity on his status for Sunday's game against the Texans could come Friday.

Rhamondre Stevenson - Still not practicing Stevenson (foot) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Stevenson didn't practice Wednesday, which sets the stage for Friday's session to loom large in terms of the running back's availability for Sunday's game against the Texans. If he ends up limited or out this weekend, Antonio Gibson would be in line for added Week 6 snaps, with JaMycal Hasty in reserve.

Kendrick Bourne - Limited practice Wednesday Bourne (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact In his first game back after being activated from the PUP list Saturday, Bourne logged 16 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in the Patriots' Week 5 loss to the Dolphins. With no reported setbacks in the contest, Bourne's Wednesday limitations are likely maintenance-related. Assuming that's the case, the wideout should be available for rookie QB Drake Maye's first start, Sunday against the Texans.

Rhamondre Stevenson - Misses practice with foot injury Stevenson didn't practice Wednesday due to a listed foot issue, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Stevenson briefly left this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins due to a calf injury, which he downplayed afterward. Evidently he's past that issue, but the running back is now tending to a foot concern ahead of this weekend's game against the Texans. Stevenson now has two more chances to practice ahead of the contest, but unless he upgrades to full participation by Friday, he'll approach Week 6 action with an injury designation.

K.J. Osborn - Limited to start Week 6 prep Osborn (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

Impact Osborn sat out the Week 5 loss to the Dolphins due to a shoulder injury, but it's encouraging to see him participating in a limited fashion after Osborn didn't practice at all during Week 5 preparation. The veteran wideout has only five catches for 31 yards this season, but if Osborn's able to play against the Texans on Sunday, he could benefit from New England switching from Jacoby Brissett to rookie third overall pick Drake Maye under center.

Kyle Dugger - Not at practice Wednesday Dugger (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Dugger hasn't been able to play or even practice at all since suffering an ankle injury during Week 4 at San Francisco. If he can't get back on the practice field Thursday or Friday, he'll probably miss his second game in as many weeks Sunday.

Rhamondre Stevenson - Not practicing Wednesday Stevenson (calf) wasn't at practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site and Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald report.

Impact Per Callahan, Stevenson left this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins for a few plays due to a calf injury, but the running back downplayed the issue afterward. "I just felt a helmet right into my leg, right into my calf, really, it what it was," said Stevenson. "I just had to make sure I was good. And I was. I felt all right to get back out there." We'll revisit Stevenson's status Thursday, but so far there's nothing to suggest that his availability for this weekend's game against the Texans is in danger.
