Patriots' Jakobi Meyers explains lateral that turned into Raiders' game-winning TD: 'Trying to be a hero' Meyers effectively handed the game to the Raiders with an ill-advised lateral on the final play of regulation.

Quiet day ends in disaster Meyers caught two of six targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders.

Impact The entire Patriots passing game struggled and Meyers wound up leading the team in receiving yards in his return from a one-game absence due to a concussion, but his performance was marred by a nightmarish ending -- with the score tied, the Patriots tried to produce a miracle touchdown on their final play, only for Meyers' attempted back pass to Mac Jones to wind up being grabbed by Chandler Jones instead, who rumbled the other way for the game-winning score. Meyers hasn't topped 62 yards in eight straight appearances, but he may need to be more productive in Week 16 as the Patriots try to keep up with Joe Burrow and the Bengals.

Returns to action Sunday Meyers (concussion) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact After finishing the week with a limited practice, Meyers will suit up Sunday, following a one-game absence due to a concussion he sustained versus the Bills on Dec. 1. With fellow wideout DeVante Parker (concussion) inactive, barring any setbacks Meyers should reclaim his key pass-catching role in the Patriots Week 15 offense alongside Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton. Through 10 games to date, Meyers is averaging five catches (on 6.7 targets) for 59.3 yards, to go along with three TDs, a pace the keeps him on the fantasy radar, particularly in PPR formats.

Trending toward return Sunday The Patriots expect Meyers (concussion) to play Sunday against the Raiders, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Meyers, who was inactive this past Monday against the Cardinals, is officially listed as questionable after practicing in a limited fashion Friday, but it looks as though he's trending toward a return to the lineup Sunday following a one-game absence. Official confirmation of the wide receiver's Week 15 status will arrive once the Patriots' inactives are posted ahead of the team's 4:05 ET kickoff.

Patriots-Raiders Injury Report: Rhamondre Stevenson, Jakobi Meyers Status? Three Patriots starters have been ruled out of Sunday’s matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium.

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Listed as questionable for Week 15 Meyers (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Meyers closed out the week with a limited practice, which gives him a chance to return to action this weekend following a one-game absence. Meanwhile, fellow wideout DeVante Parker (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest. Look for added context with regard to Meyers' Week 15 status to arrive late Saturday or early Sunday, but if he's available, the 26-year-old would presumably be in line to reclaim a key role in a Patriots wideout corps that also includes Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton.

Spotted at Friday's practice Meyers (concussion) was present for the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.

Impact Meyers was limited Wednesday before failing to practice Thursday, and the extent of his participation Friday has yet to be clarified. New England's No. 1 wide receiver will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to suit up Sunday in Las Vegas.

Gets downgrade to DNP Meyers (concussion) officially didn't practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Initially, Meyers was listed as limited for a second day in a row on New England's Week 15 injury report. However, the team updated Thursday's version later, making him a non-participant for the fourth time on five reports since being diagnosed with a concussion Week 13 against the Bills. Considering the mid-week downgrade, Meyers seemingly doesn't have a great chance to suit up Sunday at Las Vegas, with Friday's report revealing whether he enters the weekend with a designation or ruled out for a second consecutive contest.

DECEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Stays limited at practice Meyers (concussion) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Impact While Meyers was deemed a limited participant both Wednesday and Thursday, fellow wideout DeVante Parker (concussion) has yet to practice this week. Considering that, Meyers seems more likely to play this weekend against the Raiders than Parker, but chances are he'll approach Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET contest with a Week 15 injury designation.

Listed as limited Wednesday Meyers (concussion) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Meyers wasn't spotted on the field during the media-access portion of practice, but he apparently got some work in after all. With that in mind, Meyers may have a chance at putting an end to a one-game absence this weekend against the Raiders. In order for that to come to fruition, however, Meyers will likely need to put in a full practice by Friday in addition to gaining clearance from an independent neurologist.

DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not practicing Wednesday Meyers (concussion) isn't participating in practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact New England was without two of its starting receivers for its first Week 15 practice, as DeVante Parker wasn't present for the session while he recovers from a concussion of his own. Meyers was held out of this past Monday's win over the Cardinals while in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, while Parker exited the Week 14 contest after sustaining the head injury. Both receivers may not be able to clear the protocol ahead of Sunday's game in Las Vegas, in which case Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton would serve as the Patriots' top three wideouts.
