Overview
- Campbell practiced fully Wednesday after four games out with a sprained MCL, making him eligible to be activated from injured reserve.
- The Patriots created roster flexibility earlier in the week by releasing center Brendan Jaimes and cornerback Mike Battle, signaling potential IR moves.
- Defensive tackle Milton Williams and cornerback Alex Austin are also in return-to-practice windows, with Williams limited as he tests his ankle.
- Vederian Lowe steadied the line at left tackle during Campbell’s absence, with New England going 3-1 over that span.
- Thursday brought encouraging signs elsewhere, as Hunter Henry and Christian Barmore returned to practice while New England weighs seeding implications against the Dolphins.
