Overview

• The team announced that edge rusher K’Lavon Chaisson will miss Week 5 with a knee injury after a reduced snap count in Week 4.
• Defensive tackle Milton Williams is listed as questionable with an ankle issue but is expected to be available, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
• Linebacker Jahlani Tavai remains questionable with a calf injury yet is expected to suit up, and cornerback Carlton Davis practiced through an illness and is also expected to play.
• Anfernee Jennings and Keion White are slated for expanded snaps off the edge in Chaisson’s absence, though both have struggled in reserve roles based on recent grading.
• Chaisson’s early production (2.5 sacks) had boosted New England’s pass rush, raising stakes for a defense preparing for Buffalo’s heavy run volume and Josh Allen’s mobility with inactives finalized 90 minutes before kickoff.
