White (groin) is active for Sunday's game against Buffalo.
White popped up on Friday's practice report as a limited participant due to a groin injury. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue for him as he will suit up for Sunday's contest.

Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Questionable for Week 16

Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Logs limited practice
Rotowire
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.

New England announced Thursday that Barmore (illness) has been placed on the reserve/non-football illness list.
The Patriots' official statement reads: "The New England Patriots are placing defensive lineman Christian Barmore on the reserve non-football illness list after he experienced some recurring symptoms that required further evaluation.

Patriots' Christian Elliss: Past head injury
Rotowire
Elliss (head) was left off the Patriots' injury report Wednesday.
The 25-year-old sustained a head injury in the Patriots' Week 15 loss to the Cardinals, but his omission from Wednesday's injury report suggests that he's already recovered from the issue. With Elliss back at full health, he's expected to serve as one of New England's top inside linebackers in a divisional matchup against the Bills on Sunday.

Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Dealing with ankle injury
Rotowire
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.

Patriots' Marcus Jones: Working through hip injury
Rotowire
Jones (hip) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Jones logged six tackles (five solo) across 30 defensive snaps during this past Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Cardinals. It appears the third-year corner may have picked up a hip injury in the process, which prevented him from participating in the Patriots' first official practice of the week. Jones will have two more opportunities to practice this week ahead of Sunday's AFC East showdown against the Bills.

Rotowire
Jennings logged seven tackles (two solo) during the Patriots loss to the Cardinals Sunday.

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.

Patriots' Christian Elliss: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Elliss (head) is questionable to return Sunday versus the Cardinals.
Elliss suffered a head injury in the second half of Sunday's matchup, leaving his status for the rest of the game up in the air. The Patriots are already shorthanded at linebacker, and if Elliss can't return, they will have to turn to Sione Takitaki.

Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Good to go Week 15
Rotowire
Gonzalez (shoulder) was deemed active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Gonzalez dealt with a shoulder injury that kept him limited during practice Wednesday through Friday. Nevertheless, the second-year pro will suit up and continue to serve as New England's top cornerback. Across 13 appearances this season, Gonzalez has accrued 55 tackles and eight passes defended, including two interceptions and a pick-six.

Dugger will suit up for the fourth game in a row while continuing to deal with an ankle injury. Across nine appearances this season, the 28-year-old has totaled 52 tackles, 1.0 sacks and four passes defended. He'll continue to suit up as the Patriots' top strong safety.

Patriots' Jaquelin Roy: Lands on IR, done for season
Rotowire
The Patriots placed Roy (foot) on injured reserve Friday.
Roy last played Week 10 against Chicago, when he aggravated a neck injury and was forced him to exit the contest early. The second-year defensive tackle now appears to be dealing with a foot issue. Because a stint on IR requires a four-game absence, and the 3-10 Patriots have only four games remaining in the regular season while being already eliminated from playoff contention, Roy won't play again this season. He'll finish the 2024 campaign with 17 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, over six contests.

Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Questionable for Week 15
Rotowire
Gonzalez (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals.
Gonzalez practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week due to a shoulder injury following the Patriots' Week 14 bye. The Oregon product has been productive in his second year in the NFL, recording 55 total tackles and eight passes defended, including two interceptions, in 13 appearances this season. If Gonzalez is sidelined for the first time this season in Week 15, expect Alex Austin to serve as one of the Patriots' top outside cornerbacks.

Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Limited in practice
Rotowire
Gonzalez (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Gonzalez was dealing with a hip injury ahead of the Patriots' Week 14 bye, so this appears to be a new injury for the team's top cornerback. He'll have two more practice days to get in some reps ahead of Sunday's date with Marvin Harrison and the Cardinals.
