Damien Harris Limited To Start The Week

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (finger) is on the injury report to begin the week and was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday.

Week 2 was ugly in the early slate with low-scoring games and QB injuries across the board.

Jonnu Smith Makes Minimal Impact In Week 2

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith was brought in this offseason to be an impact red-zone threat for this offense. However, he has failed to find the end zone in two games this season. In Week 2, Smith hauled in four of his five targets for 28 yards in the win over the New […]

Jonnu Smith Active For Week 2

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (hip) was limited in practice at the end of the week, but will play on Sunday when the Patriots face the New York Jets. Smith played over 70 percent of New England's snaps last week in an offense that seems set to feature the tight end position. Smith […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Inactive For Week 2

New England Patriots rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson is a healthy scratch in Week 2 against the Jets, with running back J.J. Taylor set to make his 2021 debut in his stead.
