Patriots' Robert Spillane: Solid first season in New England
Spillane notched 97 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, five defensed passes (including two interceptions) and a forced fumble over 13 regular-season games (all starts) during the 2025 campaign.
Spillane signed with the Patriots last March after a two-year run with Las Vegas during which he averaged 153 stops per season. While Spillane couldn't quite reach those numbers in his debut campaign in New England, he made an immediate impact as the Pats' leading tackler despite missing the final four games of the regular season due to an ankle injury. Spillane returned for the playoffs and posted 18 stops during New England's run to the Super Bowl in spite of missing most of the AFC Championship Game versus Denver as a result of reinjuring his ankle. Spillane is under contract through 2027 and figures to be a central figure in New England's defense again next year.

Patriots' Robert Spillane: Cleared for Super Bowl LX
Spillane (ankle) is active for Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday.
Spillane was able to log a limited practice in Friday's session, and that was enough for him to be cleared to play in the final game of the 2025 season. He has accumulated 14 tackles (five solo) and five pass defenses over the Patriots' three playoff games and will start alongside Christian Elliss at inside linebacker.

Patriots' Robert Spillane: Questionable for Super Bowl LX
Spillane (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Super Bowl LX on Sunday, Feb. 8.
Spillane has had six practice opportunities leading up to the big game against the Seahawks, failing to participate in all but Friday's session, where the linebacker logged limited participation. Head coach Mike Vrabel will have to decide if Spillane's ankle issue will hurt the team's ability to slow down Kenneth Walker and the Seahawks' run game. If Spillane is ultimately unable to suit up, Jack Gibbens will likely start at inside linebacker opposite Christian Elliss.

Patriots' Robert Spillane: Back at practice
Spillane (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
The inside linebacker and New England's leading tackler during the regular season suffered the injury during the AFC Championship Game, had to leave that game early and hadn't practiced since then before Thursday. Spillane did say even before Thursday that he was confident he'd be good to go for the Super Bowl, and his return to practice shows that he is trending in the right direction. The former Raider recorded six stops in each of New England's first two playoff victories, games in which he played most of the snaps.

Spillane hasn't practiced since the AFC Championship Game, as he's still nursing the ankle injury that forced him to exit the contest early. However, the 30-year-old said that he's confident he'll be good to go for the Super Bowl on Sunday, where he would resume his role as the team's defensive signal caller.

Patriots' Robert Spillane: Questionable for the Super Bowl
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.

Head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters that Spillane (ankle) didn't practice Friday, Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com reports.
Spillane has now logged consecutive DNPs after sustaining an ankle injury in the AFC Championship Game win over the Broncos. The 30-year-old linebacker led New England's defense in total tackles during the regular season, recording 97 stops over just 13 contests. If he's unable to suit up for the Super Bowl LX matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8, expect Jack Gibbens to have an expanded role with the Patriots' first-team defense.

Spillane (ankle) was estimated as a non-participant at practice on the Patriots' injury report Wednesday.

Spillane (ankle) was absent from Thursday's practice, Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com reports.
The 30-year-old from Western Michigan sustained an ankle injury early in the AFC Championship Game win over the Broncos. Spillane is a crucial portion of the Patriots' linebacker corps, recording 97 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and five passes defensed, including two interceptions, over 13 regular-season games in 2025. He likely needs to upgrade to limited practice at some point over the next week in order to suit up for the Super Bowl LX matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8.
