Patriots' Robert Spillane: Leads team in tackles
Spillane finished with eight tackles (seven solo) in New England's 13-10 loss to Seattle on Wednesday night.
The inside linebacker was active during a strong defensive effort by the Patriots in their season opener. Spillane recorded 97 tackles (48 solo), including 1.0 sacks, five pass breakups, including two interceptions, and a forced fumble across 13 regular-season games a year ago. He should be able to continue to accumulate numbers in the center of New England's defense this season.

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.
