Overview
- After a walkthrough, New England issued a projected report with 15 players, listing Austin Hooper as the lone non-participant due to a concussion.
- Hooper is in the NFL concussion protocol on a short week, putting his availability for Thursday night in doubt.
- Rhamondre Stevenson and Kayshon Boutte were limited, a step forward after recent absences for toe and hamstring injuries.
- Tight end depth is strained with Hunter Henry as the only healthy 53-man option, and practice-squad TEs Thomas Odukoya and CJ Dippre as potential call-ups under roster rules.
- Key contributors Christian Barmore, TreVeyon Henderson, Marcus Jones, and Jaylinn Hawkins were limited, while the Jets listed Garrett Wilson as a non-participant and ESPN reports he is out multiple weeks.
