Patriots Put Harold Landry on Active PUP as Camp Opens

Landry’s recovery timetable will determine how much the Patriots can rely on him for their pass rush.

Overview

  • The Patriots placed linebacker Harold Landry on the active/Physically Unable to Perform list Tuesday while also putting tight end C.J. Dippre on PUP and running back Terrell Jennings on the non‑football injury/illness list, with all three remaining on the 90‑man roster.
  • Active/PUP and NFI designations prevent the players from practicing for now but allow them to be removed and join practices immediately once medically cleared.
  • Coach Mike Vrabel said Landry has been involved in meetings and leadership work and that limited on‑field reps were part of a planned approach after he missed parts of the offseason program and did not participate in mandatory minicamp because of a nagging knee.
  • Landry produced 49 tackles and 8.5 sacks in 2025 but struggled late in the season with the same knee and has a prior major knee injury history, which explains the team’s cautious handling of his workload.
  • The rest of the roster arrives later this week with the first main practice scheduled for Saturday, and Landry’s activation timetable will shape evaluations of New England’s pass‑rush depth during training camp and the preseason.
