Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Limited Wednesday
Dugger (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Dugger returned to the field for Sunday's loss to the Rams after a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, recording three total tackles while playing 100 percent of the Patriots' defensive snaps. This suggests that Wednesday's limited session is likely precautionary, and the Lenoir-Rhyne product is expected to suit up for the Week 12 divisional matchup against the Dolphins unless he downgrades to no participation Thursday or Friday.

Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Good to go vs. Rams
Dugger (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Dugger was a limited practice participant all week, and he will return Sunday from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury. Dugger will reclaim his starting spot at strong safety and will solidify the Patriots' secondary against a Rams' offense that didn't score a touchdown in Week 10 against the Dolphins.

Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Questionable for Sunday
Dugger (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams.
Dugger practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week and has missed the Patriots' last three games due to an ankle injury. It now appears he has a chance to return for New England's Week 11 matchup against the Rams; however, if he's unable to do so, expect Jaylinn Hawkins to serve as the Patriots' top strong safety Sunday.

Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Opens week with limited work
Dugger (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
The 28-year-old has missed the Patriots' last three games due to an ankle injury, but Wednesday's DNP suggests he could be nearing a return to the field. Dugger has recorded 35 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and defended two passes in six appearances this season. If Dugger can return for New England's Week 11 matchup against the Rams, it would be a significant boost to an already hot Patriots defense, which has allowed 22 or fewer points in each of its last three games.

Dugger (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Will miss Week 9
Dugger (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's tilt against Tennessee.
Dugger was a late addition to the injury report last weekend and will now miss his second straight game due to the issue. He did manage a trio of limited sessions in practice this week, which suggests he has a chance to return to action next Sunday versus Chicago. Jaylinn Hawkins is likely to start at strong safety against the Titans in Dugger's stead Sunday.

Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Questionable for Week 9
Dugger (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Titans.
Dugger was a limited participant at each of New England's three practices this week, but his status remains up in the air for Week 9. If he is forced to miss a second game in a row due to his ankle injury, Jaylinn Hawkins will likely draw another start at strong safety versus Tennessee.

Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Limited Wednesday
Dugger (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Dugger missed the Patriots' Week 8 win over the Jets due to an ankle injury likely sustained in practice, but Wednesday's limited session indicates he could be nearing a return to the field. His participation Thursday and Friday will provide the best indication of whether he can return in Week 9, when the Patriots travel to Tennessee.

Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Will miss Week 8
Dugger (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Dugger was a late addition to New England's injury report, as he practiced in full both Thursday and Friday before getting added to the report with a questionable tage Saturday. The severity of his ankle issue isn't clear, but the injury is going to sideline him for at least Sunday's AFC East clash. Dugger's absence will be a significant blow to the Patriots' secondary, as the safety logged 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps in five of the team's seven contests coming into Week 8. When Dugger was sidelined Week 5 against Miami, Jaylinn Hawkins stepped into a starting role, which will likely be the case again Sunday.

Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Questionable to face Jets
Dugger (ankle) has been added to the Patriots' injury report Saturday and is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Dugger missed Week 5 due to an ankle injury, and the same issue may have now resurfaced. Jaylinn Hawkins played 95 percent of defensive snaps Week 5, so if Dugger ends up missing any more time, New England has already signaled which player will inherit an every-down role in his stead.

Dugger recorded 11 tackles (nine solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 32-16 loss against the Jaguars.
Dugger got back on track in the tackle category in Week 7, tallying more than four for the first time since Week 2. He's on the IDP radar headed into a Week 8 matchup versus the Jets as he looks to build on Sunday's performance.
