Updated Patriots injury report for Week 2 is moving in the wrong direction
The Patriots' injury report has remained mostly consistent since the season started last weekend, with guard Sidy Sow remaining the only player not present for practice this week. They have mostly avoided the injury bug so far, but the latest report, released on Thursday ahead of their Week 2 matchup with the Seahawks, has unfortunately grown longer.
While it's great news to see David Andrews and Rhamondre Stevenson removed from the report entirely, seeing three more players added, two of which are or have become significant contributors to their success, is not a great sight.
The only silver lining is that these players were still present for practice on Thursday afternoon, just in a limited capacity. That's better than the alternative, which is being sidelined completely and unable to practice at all.
DID NOT PARTICIPATE | LIMITED PARTICIPATION |
|---|---|
G Sidy Sow (ankle) | S Kyle Dugger (ankle) |
RB Antonio Gibson (hip) | |
RB JaMycal Hasty (knee) | |
LB Anfernee Jennings (wrist/knee) | |
T Vederian Lowe (abdomen) | |
S Jabrill Peppers (hip) | |
G Layden Robinson (shoulder) | |
LB Joshua Uche (foot) | |
DE Deatrich Wise Jr. (shoulder) |
Removed from the list: C David Andrews, RB Rhamondre Stevenson
The seriousness of Kyle Dugger, JaMycal Hasty, and Layden Robinson's injuries is unknown, but hopefully, since they were on the practice field, that's a good sign for their availability on Sunday afternoon.
Meanwhile, the Seahawks had a few new names on their report as well. Some key contributors, the most important of whom is running back Kenneth Walker III, were not practicing either.
DID NOT PARTICIPATE | LIMITED PARTICIPATION | FULL PARTICIPATION |
|---|---|---|
RB Kenneth Walker (oblique) | LB Tyrel Dodson (shoulder) | TE Noah Fant (foot) |
T George Fant (knee) | WR Tyler Lockett (thigh) | G Laken Tomlinson (ankle) |
LB Uchenna Nwosu (knee) | LB Jerome Baker (hamstring) | G Anthony Bradford (knee) |
TE Pharaoh Brown (foot) | LB De'Mont Jones (hamstring) | |
CB Riq Woolen (hamstring) | ||
CB Tre Brown (quadricep) |
Because they are also a team that thrives through their run game, seeing Kenneth Walker III missing another practice is a bad sign for his status this weekend.
