INJURIES

Kyle Dugger - Misses practice Dugger (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Impact Dugger seems like a longshot to play Sunday against the Dolphins with reports earlier in the week stating his timeline for a return was up in the air. He'll likely need to return to the field in some capacity Friday to have any chance of being active for the matchup. If Dugger can't suit up Sunday, Jaylinn Hawkins could be the next man up at strong safety.

Cole Strange - Expected to play this season Strange (knee), who remains on the reserve/PUP list without an exact return timetable, is expected to play this season, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
Impact Strange has already missed a requisite four games since opening the regular season on the PUP list, and while New England hasn't offered an actionable timetable for his return, the left guard is expected to be contribute at some point this year. The 2022 first-round pick is recovering from a left patella tendon tear suffered Week 15 of the 2023 season.

Huntley and Brissett square off for Dolphins and Patriots while bigger names remain on the sideline

Kendrick Bourne - Feels good after first practice Bourne noted Thursday that he "feels good" and that his knee has responded well to his return to practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Impact Per Lazar, Bourne, who was limited in his return to practice Wednesday, is on a snap count for the time being. The wideout remains on the PUP list, and it's unclear at this stage if he'll be activated ahead of Sunday's contest against the Dolphins. Once Bourne returns to the mix, however, he'll have a chance to reclaim a key role in a New England WR corps currently led by DeMario Douglas, Ja'Lynn Polk and K.J. Osborn (shoulder).

Patriots vs. Dolphins Injury Report – Week 5, 2024

See who's in and who's out for the Week 5 matchup between the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots on October 6, 2024.
OCTOBER 2 • DATA SKRIVE
Patriots vs. Dolphins Injury Report – Week 5, 2024
K.J. Osborn - Misses Wednesday's practice Osborn (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact Osborn, who was on the field for 42 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in the Patriots' Week 4 loss to the 49ers, is now dealing with a shoulder issue ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. That said, with five catches on 13 targets for 31 yards through four games, Osborn is only a fantasy consideration in deeper formats.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Jaheim Bell - Pops up on injury report Bell (neck) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Impact Bell was never on the Patriots' Week 4 injury report and was presumably a healthy inactive for their loss to the 49ers. So, it's not clear when he would have picked up the injury.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Anfernee Jennings - Still dealing with injury Jennings (shoulder) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Impact Jennings missed the team's loss to the 49ers on Sunday due to the injury and is still not back to full health. His ability to get on the practice field is at least a sign of progress for the Alabama product. He'll try and ramp up his practice activity Thursday, ahead of their Week 5 matchup with the Dolphins.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Jabrill Peppers - Gets day off Peppers (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Peppers dealt with a shoulder injury earlier in the season but has yet to miss a game due to it. It's not clear if he possibly aggravated the injury in Sunday's loss to the 49ers or if he's essentially receiving a maintenance day, and should be back to practice Thursday.

Patriots center David Andrews to have season-ending shoulder surgery

New England Patriots center David Andrews is expected to have season-ending shoulder surgery
OCTOBER 2 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kendrick Bourne - Returning to practice Bourne (knee) is slated to practice Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
Impact Bourne, who remains on the PUP list, will thus have his 21-day practice window opened up ahead of Week 5 action. In terms of the wideout's availability for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, coach Jerod Mayo indicated that the possibility of Bourne (who is bouncing back from an ACL tear he sustained last October) playing this weekend isn't unrealistic, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Antonio Gibson - Could start Sunday As Sunday's game against the Dolphins approaches, coach Jerod Mayo noted that having Gibson start over Rhamondre Stevenson is "under consideration" due to Stevenson's fumbling iss...
Impact Stevenson has started each of the Patriots' first four games, en route to rushing for 267 yards and two touchdowns on 65 carries, however he's fumbled four times in that span. Given Stevenson's recent ball-security issues, Gibson -- who has logged 29 carries for 155 yards thus far -- is a candidate to see added snaps, and possibly start this weekend, versus Miami. In such a scenario, Gibson represents a possible lineup option for those in need of Week 5 RB help.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
David Andrews - Season likely over Head coach Jerod Mayo announced Wednesday that Andrews will underdog shoulder surgery and likely miss the rest of the season, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Andrews suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to the 49ers and was seeking multiple medical opinions on his injury, as Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reported Tuesday. The loss of the Georgia product is a big one for the Patriots and their offensive line, which Nick Leverett will work to lessen the burden of, as he is expected to take over center duties in New England.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Marte Mapu - Nearing return Mapu (undisclosed) is expected to be designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Impact Mapu has been on IR since Week 1 prep began and has missed the mandatory four games of action. He'll now be able to practice with the team once he's officially designated to return. Considering the amount of time he's missed, it's unlikely the 24-year-old will be moved to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, but further clarity there should be available later in the week.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Sione Takitaki - Should practice today Takitaki (knee) is expected to be designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Impact Takitaki has been on the PUP list since training camp opened, but he'll finally be able to practice with the team once he's officially designated to return. Considering the amount of time he's missed, it's unlikely the 29-year-old will be moved to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, but further clarity there should be available later in the week.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Rhamondre Stevenson - Fumbling a concern Coach Jerod Mayo noted ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins that having Antonio Gibson start over Stevenson is "under consideration" due to Stevenson's fumbling issues, Evan...
Impact Through the Patriots' first four games this season, Stevenson has logged 65 carries to Gibson's 29, but in that span Stevenson has fumbled four times. With that in mind, it's possible that Stevenson's recent ball-security issues could impact his workload to a degree in Week 5, though even in such a scenario we would still expect him to remain part of the game plan versus Miami .
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Dugger - Return date still murky Dugger (ankle) avoided a serious injury during Sunday's loss to the 49ers. However, a timeline for his return is still up in the air, Karen Guregian of The Springfield Republican r...
Impact Dugger seems to have received confirmation on the Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com report Tuesday that he "likely" avoided a serious injury. That's good news for the veteran safety and the Patriots, but it appears he'll remain questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Raekwon McMillan - Seven tackles vs. Niners McMillan finished Sunday's 30-13 loss to the 49ers with seven tackles (six solo).
Impact McMillan's seven tackles Sunday was tied for most on the Patriots with Jabrill Peppers. McMillan got his second start at inside linebacker since Ja'Whaun Bentley was placed on injured reserve Sept. 25 due to a pectoral injury. With Bentley in danger of missing the entire 2024 season, McMillan will continue to start at inside linebacker for the Patriots alongside Christian Elliss. Through four games this year, McMillan has tallied 24 tackles (15 solo) and one pass defended.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Jabrill Peppers - Picks off Purdy in Week 4 Peppers tallied seven tackles (three solo), two passes defended and one interception in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the 49ers.
Impact Peppers grabbed his first interception of the season Sunday, as he picked off a Brock Purdy pass intended for wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk in the end zone early in the fourth quarter. Peppers played every single defensive snap for the third time this season, and on the year he's totaled 23 tackles (11 solo) and one interception.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Deatrich Wise Jr. - Sacks Purdy in Week 4 Wise finished Sunday's 30-13 loss to San Francisco with six tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defended.
Impact Wise was the only Patriots defender to register a sack Sunday, as he took down Brock Purdy for a five-yard loss midway through the second quarter. Wise has registered a sack in each of his last two games, and for the season he's up to 10 tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, and two interceptions.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
David Andrews - Seeking opinions Andrews is getting multiple medical opinions on his shoulder injury, which he suffered in Sunday's loss to the 49ers, before deciding on his path to recovery, Mark Daniels of MassL...
Impact Andrew's exact injury is unknown, but it would seem that he and the team are trying to decide if he can play through it, rehab it, or if he may need surgery to repair it. Further clarity on his potential to play Sunday against the Dolphins will likely come when the team releases it's first injury report Wednesday.
OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Dugger - Likely avoided serious injury Dugger (ankle) likely avoided a serious injury in Sunday's loss to the 49ers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Dugger's timeline for a return as well as an official diagnosis are still unknown, but it appears the Patriots are not expecting the 28-year-old to miss a significant amount of time. Further clarity on his injury and status for this Sunday's against the Dolphins should come later in the week.
