Impact The rookie is returning to duty after two weeks on the sidelines. Dugger logged a 42 percent snap share, or higher, in three of the four games before his injury, and a similar role can be expected in this primetime matchup. He may return kicks as well because J.J. Taylor (illness) is out.

Maintains limited participation Dugger (ankle) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

Impact This was Dugger's second limited session of the week. He was limited throughout all of last week but was ultimately inactive against the Bills, so this isn't necessarily an indication of his status. If he's forced to sit out again, J.J. Taylor (illness) should slot in at kick returner if healthy, while Terrence Brooks sees an uptick in snaps at safety.
