Removed from injury report Cajuste (illness) is no longer on the Patriots' injury report for Wednesday.
Impact Cajuste missed the Patriots' Week 15 loss to the Colts due to a non-COVID illness. Now that he's healthy enough to return, he should go back to his depth role on the Patriots' offensive line Sunday against the Bills.

Limited to begin Week 16 prep New England listed Harris (hamstring) as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact After sitting out last week's loss to Indianapolis with the hamstring injury, Harris is starting off Week 16 prep on a positive note by practicing in some fashion. However, since Harris was listed as a limited participant in practice on three occasions before being ruled out ahead of the Week 15 contest, he would ideally upgrade to full activity by Friday for fantasy managers to feel confident about his availability for Sunday's game against the Bills. At least for the moment, Harris looks to be healthier than Rhamondre Stevenson, who sat out Wednesday's session entirely with an illness. If both Harris and Stevenson are cleared to play Sunday, the two would likely work in a timeshare out of the New England backfield.

In concussion protocol The Patriots listed Agholor as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to a concussion.
Impact Agholor exited in the third quarter of Saturday's loss to the Colts with what the team termed as a head injury, but it wasn't until the release of the team's first Week 16 practice report that it was revealed the wideout had entered the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. He'll now have two more opportunities to potentially fit in some on-field work before the Patriots host the Bills on Sunday, but even if Agholor upgrades to limited or full practice activity by Friday, he'll still need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to play. Along with Agholor, Kendrick Bourne (illness) is also at risk of sitting out Week 16 after testing positive Wednesday for COVID-19, so the Patriots' wideout corps could be more shorthanded than usual.

Limited by hip injury New England listed Harry as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice with a hip injury.
Impact Harry exited early in the Patriots' Week 15 loss to the Colts after he appeared to take a hit to the head, but New England is listing him on its first Week 16 report with a different health concern. The fact that Harry was on the field in any capacity to begin the week is a promising sign that the hip issue won't keep him from playing Sunday against the Bills. Meanwhile, Nelson Agholor (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday and Kendrick Bourne (illness) was added to the reserve/COVID-19 list, so Harry could be in store for a larger role than normal Sunday if one or both of the other two wideouts aren't available to play.

Misses practice with illness Stevenson missed Wednesday's practice due to an illness, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Impact As a result, Stevenson's status is worth monitoring in advance of Sunday's game against the Bills. Meanwhile, fellow running back Damien Harris (hamstring) logged a limited practice Wednesday after missing the Patriots' Week 15 loss to the Colts. If Stevenson and Harris are both available this weekend, the would likely settle back into a timeshare arrangement.

Could play this week Bourne still has a chance to play in Sunday's game against the Bills after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list this Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Bourne is vaccinated, and the timing of his placement on the COVID list gives him 5-6 days to test negative on back-to-back days. It's still probably no better than 50/50, and the Pats also have other issues at wide receiver with Nelson Agholor (head) and N'Keal Harry (head) both getting banged up during Saturday's loss to Indianapolis.
