Dugger (ankle/illness) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Dugger was sidelined for Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury and illness, but it appears he is progressing through both issues as he was able to practice in a limited capacity Thursday. A full practice Friday would give him a good shot at avoiding an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against Buffalo.

Dugger did not practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Dugger was the leading tackler for the Patriots' in their 30-17 loss to the Cardinals this past Sunday, finishing with 10 tackles (six solo) while playing every single defensive tackle. However, it appears he picked up an ankle injury in the process, and he will have two more chances this week to practice ahead of Sunday's AFC East clash against the Bills. Over his last four outings, Dugger has logged 27 tackles (15 solo) and two pass defenses.

Dugger registered 10 tackles (six solo) during New England's loss Sunday versus the Cardinals. Dugger was one of the Patriots' few bright spots during Sunday's loss as he managed to record double-digit tackles for the second time this campaign. He has now racked up 62 tackles (41 solo), with 1.0 sacks, across 10 outings this season and will look to add to those totals during the team's Week 16 matchup versus the Bills.

Dugger (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Dugger has been dealing with the ankle injury for weeks but has played in three straight games, and New England is coming off its bye week. On the season, Dugger has 52 tackles (35 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four pass breakups and one forced fumble across nine appearances.

Dugger recorded eight tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 25-24 loss versus the Colts. Dugger played all 58 of New England's defensive snaps in Week 13, and he came away with his highest tackle total since Week 7 at Jacksonville. He hasn't been quite as productive this season as he was last year, but he's done enough to place himself on the fringes of the IDP radar for the fantasy playoffs after the Patriots' bye in Week 14.
