Week 7 is here, and so is the first injury report of the week, there was also some surprise returns to the field from players on IR!
New England Patriots
DID NOT PARTICIPATE
OL Jermaine Eluemunor (Ankle – placed on IR)
RB James White (Not injury related)
LIMITED
DL Adam Butler (Shoulder)
WR Julian Edelman (Knee)
S Kyle Dugger (Ankle)
OL Shaq Mason (Calf)
Jermaine Eluemunor left Sunday’s game without being able to walk on his ankle, but his tweet earlier today suggests he won’t be out for too long.
The game he’s referencing is Week 10’s encounter with Baltimore, the team that drafted him in 2017. James White was also absent for non-injury reasons and Kyle Dugger is the new name to the regulars on the limited list.
San Francisco 49ers
DID NOT PARTICIPATE
LB Kwon Alexander (Ankle)
RB Raheem Mostert (Ankle)
S Jaquiski Tartt (Groin)
OL Trent Williams (Ankle)
LIMITED
CB Dontae Johnson (Groin)
RB Jeffery Wilson (Calf)
A few big names missing from practice today for the 49ers, Kwon Alexander and Trent Williams would be huge losses for them against the Pats. Raheem Mostert isn’t expected to play this weekend.
Returning To Practice
Some important and good news for the Patriots today was the return of a number of absentees over the past few weeks. Now, none have officially returned to the main roster, but it’s a positive sign they’re back on the field and could be in contention of being activated by the weekend.
