Landry (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Super Bowl LX on Sunday, Feb. 8.

Landry was unable to log a practice this week due to a knee injury that he aggravated in the Patriots' divisional-round victory over the Texans. The linebacker could not suit up for last Sunday's AFC Championship Game win over the Broncos, and the lack of practice participation this week means he is likely trending down for Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks as well. Landry will have three more practices next week to upgrade his practice participation in an effort to dodge an injury designation before the big game.

Spillane (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Super Bowl LX on Sunday, Feb. 8.

Spillane was a non-participant in all three practices this week due to an ankle injury. The linebacker logged just 13 defensive snaps in last Sunday's AFC Championship Game victory over the Broncos and was unable to return after a first-quarter exit. The 30-year-old will have another week to rest and recuperate, and his status for Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks will likely depend on his ability to log consecutive practices in the days leading up to the contest.

Jennings (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Super Bowl LX on Sunday, Feb. 8.

Jennings developed a hamstring issue Thursday and was downgraded to a non-participant in Friday's practice due to the issue. The running back and kick returner has remained on injured reserve since Dec. 13 due to a hamstring issue, and he likely will not be activated for the Super Bowl even with the extra week of recuperation. D'Ernest Johnson was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for last Sunday's AFC Championship Game and will likely be elevated once again to fill Jennings' role as the No. 3 running back for Super Bowl LX.

Love (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Super Bowl LX, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Love was able to upgrade to a full participant in Friday's practice, just in time to be cleared of any injury designation for the first of two Super Bowl injury reports. The starting safety has progressed enough in his shoulder injury recovery to avoid any injury designation, but he will still have another week to recover before the last game of the season.

Hollins (abdomen) is estimated as questionable on Friday's injury report for Super Bowl LX versus Seattle on Sunday, Feb.8.

Hollins returned from a four-week absence to play in last Sunday's AFC Championship Game against Denver and caught both of his targets for 51 yards. This week, Hollins was estimated as limited Wednesday and Thursday before being deemed a full participant Friday. His designation of questionable heading into this weekend is a nod to how the Patriots would tag him if the team was playing this Sunday -- which it's obviously not -- so a better understanding of Hollins' chances of playing in the Super Bowl should come to light with his practice participation levels next week. Unless he suffered a setback against the Broncos, the expectation should be that Hollins will be available for the title game.

Darnold (oblique) doesn't have a designation for Super Bowl LX versus the Patriots on Sunday, Feb. 8, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Prior to both of Seattle's first two playoff games, Darnold was listed as questionable due to a left oblique injury but still suited up, combining for 470 passing yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in those contests. He remained listed as limited on all three practice reports of this week, but he seemingly has a clean bill of health before the final contest of the campaign.

Thomas (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Super Bowl LX, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Thomas upgraded to full participation in Friday's practice after being a limited participant earlier in the week. The linebacker sustained a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter of last Sunday's NFC Championship Game victory over the Rams, but he appears to have returned to full health. Thomas will have another week to recover before taking the field against the Patriots on Sunday, Feb. 8.

Maye (right shoulder/illness) is listed as questionable for Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8.

With one week of Super Bowl prep in the books, Maye capped it with a missed practice Friday due to an illness, which followed back-to-back limited listings due to a right shoulder injury. The second issue mostly has been downplayed by coach Mike Vrabel and Maye himself, but his status still bears watching now that he's dealing with multiple health concerns. The Patriots won't post another injury report until next Wednesday, at which point Maye's availability for the final game of the season could have more clarity.

Jones (chest) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of the Super Bowl LX matchup against the Patriots, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Jones was a limited participant in Thursday and Friday's practice sessions, and the absence of any injury designation means the middle linebacker should be good to go for the Super Bowl. The 26-year-old will have one more week to recover fully, but being cleared a week before the game is a strong sign that the defensive captain will be playing.

Head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters that Landry (knee) didn't practice Friday, Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com reports.

Landry has now missed consecutive practices after being sidelined for the AFC Championship Game win over the Broncos due to a knee injury. The 29-year-old led New England's defense in sacks this past regular season, tallying 8.5 across 15 appearances. He'll likely need to upgrade to a full practice at some point to avoid an injury designation ahead of the Super Bowl LX matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8.
