Patriots' Harold Landry: Questionable with knee issue
Rotowire
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.

Patriots' Robert Spillane: Questionable for the Super Bowl
Rotowire
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.

Rotowire
Landry (knee) was absent from Thursday's practice, Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com reports.
The first-year Patriot missed the AFC Championship win over the Broncos due to a knee injury, and Thursday's DNP suggests he's still nursing the issue. Landry was one of New England's most productive edge rushers in 2025, recording 49 total tackles, including 8.5 sacks, and one forced fumble across 15 regular-season contests.
