Top Craig Woodson News

  • Patriots' Craig Woodson: Won't suit up against Jags

    Woodson (shoulder) is inactive Week 3 against the Jaguars.

    Woodson only saw the practice field this week for a limited session on Friday, so it's not too surprising to see the second-year safety end up on the shelf. Jaylen Reed and Mike Brown are candidates to see extra snaps in the secondary in Woodson's stead.

  • Patriots' Craig Woodson: Questionable for Week 3

    Woodson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Woodson was upgraded to a limited participant in Friday's practice after missing the Wednesday and Thursday sessions due to a shoulder injury. The late upgrade in practice participation is a good sign for the starting strong safety, but it remains unclear if one partial practice will be enough to give Woodson the green light to suit up for Sunday's contest.

  • Patriots' Craig Woodson: Misses another practice

    Woodson (shoulder) did not practice Thursday.

    Woodson suffered a shoulder injury in Sunday's 20-3 win over Pittsburgh. He didn't practice Wednesday, with that trend continuing Thursday. The 25-year-old doesn't appear to be heading in a favorable direction, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him carry an injury designation for the Week 3 clash with the Jaguars. If Woodson isn't available, Jaylen Reed may continue to be more involved.

  • Patriots' Craig Woodson: Won't return Sunday

    Woodson (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Woodson sustained a shoulder injury in the second half, and medical staff have determined that the injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Week 2. Jaylen Reed will stay in at safety in Woodson's absence.

  • Patriots' Craig Woodson: Exits game due to shoulder injury

    Woodson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Woodson is being evaluated by medical staff in the locker room to determine whether he can return Sunday. Jaylen Reed will take over at safety for as long as Woodson is sidelined.

  • Patriots' Craig Woodson: Makes five tackles Wednesday

    Woodson recorded five tackles (five solo) during Wednesday's 13-10 loss at Seattle.

    Woodson's five tackles in Week 1 were good enough to tie for the second-highest total on the team in a game where the Seahawks only ran 50 plays on offense. Woodson was on the field for all of those, and he should play a similar role in Week 2 versus the Steelers.

  • Patriots' Craig Woodson: Notches 79 stops in rookie campaign

    Woodson tallied 79 total tackles (42 solo) and three passes defensed over 17 regular-season games in 2025.

    Woodson, a 2025 fourth-round pick from California, quickly became an integral part of the Patriots' secondary, starting 15 of the 17 regular-season games in which he appeared. He impressed throughout his rookie season, tying for the team lead in fumble recoveries while ranking fourth in total tackles. With Jaylinn Hawkins set to become an unrestricted free agent following the Patriots' 2025 playoff run, Woodson could start alongside a new running mate in 2026.

  • Patriots' Craig Woodson: Four stops against NYJ

    Woodson registered four tackles (three solo) during the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday.

    Woodson was on the field for 54 of the Patriots' 57 defensive snaps and finished tied for the fifth most tackles on the team. The rookie fourth-rounder is up to 51 tackles (28 solo), three pass defenses and one fumble recovery through the first 11 regular-season games of his NFL career.

  • Patriots' Craig Woodson: Posts eight stops Week 10

    Woodson logged eight tackles (three solo) and two pass defenses during the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Woodson played every single defensive snap Sunday, and his eight stops tied a season high that he set in Week 1 against the Raiders. The rookie fourth-rounder is up to 47 tackles (25 solo), three pass defenses and one fumble recovery through 10 regular-season games.
