Game statuses for Week 12 at Hard Rock Stadium.
The New England Patriots will head to Hard Rock Stadium with 10 questionable.
Top cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who was added to the injury report due to a hip issue following Friday’s practice, headlines the list. The No. 17 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft became a limited participant alongside a returning defensive captain in Deatrich Wise Jr. to conclude AFC East preparations.
But defensive tackle Jaquelin Roy has been ruled out after staying sidelined throughout work on the Miami Dolphins because of a neck injury.
Here’s the rest of the game statuses leading up to Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
OUT
Patriots
- DT Jaquelin Roy (neck)
Dolphins
- CB Kendall Fuller (concussion)
A neck issue forced Roy out of what became a 19-3 win over the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. The defensive tackle, who was promoted from the practice squad to the 53-man roster in October, has missed consecutive weeks of practice since then. And now consecutive games. He stands with 17 tackles and the initial two sacks of his NFL career this season.
QUESTIONABLE
Patriots
- OT Vederian Lowe (shoulder)
- G Cole Strange (knee — PUP return)
- DT Christian Barmore (not injury related — other)
- DE Deatrich Wise Jr. (foot)
- LB Keion White (knee)
- LB Anfernee Jennings (knee)
- LB Sione Takitaki (knee)
- CB Christian Gonzalez (hip)
- S Kyle Dugger (ankle)
- S Marte Mapu (neck)
Dolphins
- FB Alec Ingold (calf)
- OT Terron Armstead (knee)
- G Isaiah Wynn (quad, knee — PUP return)
- S Patrick McMorris (calf — IR return)
No member of New England’s defense has handled more snaps than Gonzalez this fall. The sophomore has played 98 percent of the downs in the secondary while totaling 11 starts, 46 tackles and the second interception of his tenure. As for Wise, the 2017 draft choice missed one game and five practices due to a foot injury before making his way back on Friday in a partial capacity. And at offensive and defensive tackle, Lowe and Barmore both spent time on the sidelines heading into the trip to Miami Gardens. The latter made his 2024 debut last Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams after being diagnosed with blood clots at the start of training camp in July.
Elsewhere in Foxborough, Strange recently had his 21-day practice window open. The Chattanooga product, now factoring in at the center spot, suffered a torn patellar tendon last December and continues to reside on the physically unable to perform list.
But tight end Austin Hooper, defensive linemen Daniel Ekuale and Davon Godchaux, as well as linebacker Christian Elliss all will go without game designations for the Patriots.
