Dugger (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Dugger was a limited practice participant all week, and he will return Sunday from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury. Dugger will reclaim his starting spot at strong safety and will solidify the Patriots' secondary against a Rams' offense that didn't score a touchdown in Week 10 against the Dolphins.

Dugger (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams. Dugger practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week and has missed the Patriots' last three games due to an ankle injury. It now appears he has a chance to return for New England's Week 11 matchup against the Rams; however, if he's unable to do so, expect Jaylinn Hawkins to serve as the Patriots' top strong safety Sunday.

Dugger (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The 28-year-old has missed the Patriots' last three games due to an ankle injury, but Wednesday's DNP suggests he could be nearing a return to the field. Dugger has recorded 35 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and defended two passes in six appearances this season. If Dugger can return for New England's Week 11 matchup against the Rams, it would be a significant boost to an already hot Patriots defense, which has allowed 22 or fewer points in each of its last three games.

Dugger (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's tilt against Tennessee. Dugger was a late addition to the injury report last weekend and will now miss his second straight game due to the issue. He did manage a trio of limited sessions in practice this week, which suggests he has a chance to return to action next Sunday versus Chicago. Jaylinn Hawkins is likely to start at strong safety against the Titans in Dugger's stead Sunday.

Dugger (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Dugger was a late addition to New England's injury report, as he practiced in full both Thursday and Friday before getting added to the report with a questionable tage Saturday. The severity of his ankle issue isn't clear, but the injury is going to sideline him for at least Sunday's AFC East clash. Dugger's absence will be a significant blow to the Patriots' secondary, as the safety logged 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps in five of the team's seven contests coming into Week 8. When Dugger was sidelined Week 5 against Miami, Jaylinn Hawkins stepped into a starting role, which will likely be the case again Sunday.
