Patriots vs. Titans Injury Report
Each team released their initial injury report of the week on Wednesday afternoon. The Patriots had three players listed as non-participants: Christian Elliss, Vederian Lowe, and Jaquelin Roy. New England listed 13 players as limited participants. Kyle Dugger (ankle), Daniel Ekuale (abdomen), Ja'Lynn Polk (concussion), and Layden Robinson (ankle) were all inactive for Sunday's win over the Jets.
Patriots fans received a positive update regarding quarterback Maye on Wednesday. Head coach Jerod Mayo indicated that Maye would be limited to 30 minutes of practice time – which indicates that the rookie is in phase three of the NFL's five-part concussion protocol. This timeline leaves the door open for Maye to play on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Tennessee listed nine players as non-participants on Wednesday, including several significant pieces on their roster. Both their leading rusher (Tony Pollard) and leading receiver (Calvin Ridley) did not practice. Tyler Boyd – the team's second-leading receiver – also did not take part in practice.
Friday's game status report (in which each player is designated as questionable, doubtful, or out) will paint a much more accurate picture of who will be able to take the field for Sunday's game. Each team must submit their game-status report by 4 p.m. Eastern on Friday.
