The New England Patriots are gearing up for their Week One matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, and the latest injury report has some notable updates on key players.
Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who injured his right shoulder in the final preseason game, seems to be in good shape for the upcoming game. Brissett’s absence from the injury report is a positive sign, as he assured reporters that his shoulder was feeling fine after the preseason game.
Left guard Sidy Sow, however, was unable to practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. Nick Leverett is listed as Sow’s backup on the team’s depth chart, and his availability for the game remains uncertain.
Several other players were limited in practice leading up to the game. Cornerback Jonathan Jones is dealing with a hamstring issue, tackle Vederian Lowe has an abdomen injury, linebacker Joshua Uche has a foot injury, and linebacker Oshane Ximenes is nursing an ankle injury. On the other hand, linebacker Christian Elliss, tight end Hunter Henry, linebacker Anfernee Jennings, and defensive end Deatrich Wise were all full participants in practice.
The Patriots will continue to monitor the status of these players as they prepare to take on the Bengals in Week One. With the season opener just days away, the team will be looking to field a healthy and competitive roster to start the season on the right foot.
