Patriots Get Will Campbell Back at Practice as IR Returns Build Toward Playoffs

His 21-day activation window is open after a four-game MCL absence.

Overview

  • Rookie left tackle Will Campbell practiced as a full participant, starting his 21-day window to be activated after a Week 12 sprained MCL.
  • Defensive tackle Milton Williams and cornerback Alex Austin returned to practice on IR-return designations, with Williams limited as he tests an ankle injury.
  • New England released center Brendan Jaimes and cornerback Mike Battle earlier in the week to create roster flexibility for potential IR activations.
  • Wide receiver Mack Hollins is on injured reserve with an abdomen injury and will be unavailable for at least the next three weeks, per coach Mike Vrabel.
  • Vrabel said all healthy players are expected to play against the Dolphins in Week 18, and he noted the team is treating legal allegations involving Stefon Diggs and Christian Barmore as allegations as league review continues.
