Anfernee Jennings - Good to go vs. Gang Green Jennings (shoulder/knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jets.

Impact Jennings was limited to start the week due to shoulder and knee injuries, which he has played through for much of the season. He won't be 100 percent healthy, but the 2020 third-round pick will nonetheless suit up for Sunday's AFC East clash. Jennings has accrued 20 tackles (12 solo), including 0.5 sacks, over his last three regular-season games.

Ja'Lynn Polk - Won't play Sunday Polk (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Mike Dussault of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Polk, who was unable to practice this week, will thus target a potential return to action Nov. 3 against the Titans. In his absence this weekend, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Kendrick Bourne figure to lead the Patriots' Week 8 WR corps, with K.J. Osborn and Tyquan Thornton mixing in.

Tyquan Thornton - On track to play Sunday Thornton, who has been a healthy scratch the last two games, is in line to be active Sunday against the Jets, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Per head coach Jerod Mayo, Thornton has "had a great week of practice. Hopefully it translates." With Ja'Lynn Polk dealing with a concussion, Thornton should have an opportunity to work into the Patriots' wideout rotation in Week 8 behind DeMario Douglas Kayshon Boutte and Kendrick Bourne, but until the speedster puts up some production he's off the fantasy lineup radar. In five games thus far, Thornton has caught two of his five targets for 27 yards.

Anfernee Jennings - Limited in Thursday's practice Jennings (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on the Patriots' injury report Thursday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

Impact Jennings has been playing through a shoulder injury since Week 5 against the Dolphins. He opened up the week as a DNP on Wednesday, but his ability to see the field Thursday indicates he's trending towards being available for Sunday's game against the Jets. Jennings has registered 34 tackles (20 solo), including 0.5 sacks, across six regular-season games.

Keion White - Returns to practice Thursday White (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact White opened the week as a DNP on Wednesday due to an ankle injury he likely picked up during the Patriots' Week 7 loss to the Jaguars in London. Friday's injury report will provide a better sense of White's status ahead of Sunday's AFC East clash against the Jets. Through the first seven games of the regular season, the 2023 second-round pick has accumulated 30 tackles (15 solo), including 4.0 sacks, three pass breakups and one forced fumble.

Rhamondre Stevenson - Practices fully Thursday Stevenson (foot/not injury related) practiced fully Thursday.

Impact Stevenson didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to a full session Thursday paves the way for him to continue to lead New England's backfield Sunday against the Jets. In his return from a one-game absence in last weekend's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars, Stevenson carried seven times for 18 yards and added two catches on three targets for seven yards. Now that he's further removed from the foot issue that sidelined him, it's reasonable to expect Stevenson to pick up the pace this weekend, with the Patriots likely to run more than they did (15 carries) in Week 7.

Ja'Lynn Polk - Still not practicing Polk (concussion) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact After missing Wednesday's session, Polk now has one more chance to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets. If the 2024 second-rounder is unavailable this weekend, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Kendrick Bourne would be in line to lead the Patriots' Week 8 wideout corps.

Rhamondre Stevenson - Back at practice Stevenson (foot/not injury related) returned to practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Stevenson didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to the field a day later has the running back trending toward suiting up Sunday against the Jets. The Patriots' looming injury report will reveal whether Stevenson was limited or practiced fully Thursday.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Javon Baker - Not on injury report Baker (illness) isn't listed on the Patriots' Week 8 injury report.

Impact An illness led to Baker missing practice this past Friday, and the wideout ended up being made inactive for the Patriots' Week 7 loss to the Jaguars. While the 2024 fourth-rounder has moved past his illness, he's not a lock to be in uniform Sunday against the Jets, given that he was a healthy scratch in Weeks 5 and 6.

Patriots vs. Jets Injury Report – Week 8, 2024

Anfernee Jennings - Still hampered by injury Jennings (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Jennings has been dealing with the shoulder injury for several weeks now and has been playing through it, aside from missing Week 4 against the 49ers. Assuming he did not aggravate the injury Sunday against the Jaguars, it's likely the Alabama product will be available Week 9 against the Jets.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Keion White - Shows up injury report White (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact White played about his typical workload in Week 7 against the Jaguars, but he likely suffered the injury during the matchup. The second-year pro will work to get back on the practice field Thursday or Friday to boost his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Jets.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

DeMario Douglas - Not on injury report Douglas (illness) isn't listed on the Patriots' Week 8 injury report.

Impact An illness limited Douglas to 20 snaps in this past Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars, but the wideout is evidently back at full strength, given that he's not on New England's injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets. As a result, Douglas should return to his normal workload this weekend, and in the process should reclaim his role as one of QB Drake Maye's preferred targets, a context that gives Douglas (who logged a 6/92/1 receiving line on nine targets in Maye's starting debut in Week 6) a degree of utility in PPR formats.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Rhamondre Stevenson - Misses Wednesday's practice Stevenson (foot/personal) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Stevenson, who continues to manage a foot issue, also tended to a personal matter Wednesday. Further context regarding the running back's Week 8 status will arrive no later than Thursday, but if Stevenson is limited or out this weekend, Antonio Gibson and JaMycal Hasty would be in line to see added backfield work for the Patriots on Sunday against the Jets.

Ja'Lynn Polk - In concussion protocol Polk is in the NFL's concussion protocol, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact After logging 34 snaps in this past Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars, Polk was forced out of the contest with what has now been confirmed as a concussion. The 2024 second-rounder will now need to progress through the NFL's protocol in order to be available this weekend against the Jets. Though seven games to date, Polk has caught 10 of his 26 targets for 78 yards and a TD, with drops having been an issue for the Washington product early on in his pro career.
