Patriots' Ja'Whaun Bentley: Officially placed on IR
Bentley (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Bentley is in danger of missing the rest of the Patriots' 2024 campaign after sustaining a pectoral injury during the team's Week 2 loss to the Seahawks, so this move to IR comes as no surprise. The 28-year-old will now be forced to miss at least the next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in Week 8 when the Patriots play the Jets. Expect Raekwon McMillan to serve as one of New England's top inside linebackers while Bentley recovers.

Patriots' Ja'Whaun Bentley: IR stint coming
Bentley (pectoral) will be placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Bentley's injury details have been a bit of a mystery, with reports more than a week ago stating he'd likely be out for the remainder of the season with a torn pectoral muscle, after initial reports suggested he may miss no time at all. A move to IR would at least confirm he'll miss the team's next four games but still won't confirm whether he'll be out for the season.

Patriots' Ja'Whaun Bentley: Ruled out for Week 3
The Patriots ruled out Bentley (shoulder) for Thursday's game against the Jets.
New England has yet to place Bentley on injured reserve, but sources familiar with his injury have told Mark Daniels and Karen Guregian of MassLive.com that the linebacker is dealing with a torn left pectoral muscle, an injury that could spell an end to his season. The 28-year-old amassed a team-high 12 tackles in the Patriots' Week 1 win over the Bengals, but played just 10 snaps in last Sunday's overtime loss to Seattle before exiting with the injury. Raekwon McMillan is expected to replace Bentley in the lineup for at least Thursday's game, starting at inside linebacker alongside Jahlani Tavai.

Patriots' Ja'Whaun Bentley: May miss rest of season
Bentley may be in danger of missing the rest of the season due to a torn pectoral muscle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Bentley left in the first half of Sunday's overtime loss to the Seahawks due to a left shoulder injury and was ruled out after halftime. Earlier Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reported that the Patriots were optimistic about Bentley suiting up Thursday at the Jets, but the tide seemingly has turned since then. First, Bentley was listed as a non-participant on New England's first Week 3 injury report, which was an estimate because the team didn't practice Monday. Following Rapoport's report, Bentley now may be unavailable for the rest of the campaign. Coach Jerod Mayo and/or the Pats likely will provide clarity regarding Bentley's health in the near future.

Patriots' Ja'Whaun Bentley: DNP on estimae
Bentley (shoulder) was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's practice report.
Bentley exited Sunday's overtime loss to the Seahawks with the injury and was unable to return. According to a previous report by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, the Patriots are optimistic the veteran linebacker will be ready to suit up Thursday, so his estimated DNP on Monday may ultimately not carry much significance. It's likely Bentley will be a game-time decision against the Jets.

Patriots' Ja'Whaun Bentley: Could play Thursday night
The Patriots are optimistic that Bentley (shoulder) will play in Thursday night's contest against the Jets, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Bentley sustained a shoulder injury during the first quarter of the Patriots' Week 2 overtime loss and didn't return. However, it now appears that the 28-year-old's injury isn't serious, and he could very well play Thursday night. Bentley's return would be significant for the Patriots' divisional matchup with the Jets in Week 3, as he racked up 12 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, during New England's Week 1 upset over the Bengals.

Patriots' Ja'Whaun Bentley: Pats' leading tackler Sunday
Bentley recorded 12 tackles (seven solo), including 0.5 sacks, during Sunday's 16-10 win at Cincinnati.
Bentley picked up where he left off at the end of last year in Week 1, racking up tackles at a breakneck pace. He's one of the most important pieces of a Patriots defense that looked very strong in its season debut, and he projects as a solid IDP option for the rest of 2024.

Patriots' Ja'Whaun Bentley: Leads team in tackles
Bentley recorded 114 tackles, including 4.5 sacks, in 16 games with the Patriots during the 2023 season.
Occupying a starting linebacker slot, Bentley led the Patriots in tackles this past season while marking his third straight 100-plus tackle effort for the team. Bentley remains under contract with New England through the 2025 campaign and is thus slated to reprise his key role in the defense next season, a context that should continue to result in enough production from the 2018 fifth-rounder to merit fantasy attention in IDP formats.

Patriots' Ja'Whaun Bentley: Notches eight stops in Week 16 win
Bentley tallied eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 26-23 victory versus the Broncos.
Bentley tied for the team lead in stops in the contest, bouncing back from the modest three-tackle output he posted against Kansas City in his previous game. The veteran linebacker entered the weekend as questionable due to a knee injury, but he was able to log all but one of the Patriots' 69 defensive snaps. Bentley has posted a career-high 4.0 sacks on the season, and he needs three more tackles to hit the triple-digit mark for the third straight campaign.
