The first injury report ahead of Thursday’s AFC East kickoff at MetLife Stadium.
An afternoon removed from an overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks, the New England Patriots began the AFC East work week.
No practice was conducted in Foxborough. But team captains David Andrews and Ja’Whaun Bentley would have found themselves among five non-participants for head coach Jerod Mayo’s active roster.
Here’s the initial injury report ahead of Thursday’s 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.

While Sow has been ruled out for back-to-back weeks due to an ankle injury suffered in the preseason finale, Lowe, Ximines and Bentley all did not finish what became a 23-20 final for the Patriots. Their injury designations were announced by the team on Sunday. And Lowe on the blindside was called questionable to return in the extra minutes. But Andrews, who has yet to miss an offensive snap at center this September, moves forward with a hip ailment. On the other half of the divisional game, the Jets held a walkthrough on Monday.
