Patriots' Karon Prunty: Full participant Wednesday
Rotowire
Prunty (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Prunty logged full practice participation for the first time since sustaining his hamstring injury during the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Bills. If the cornerback can continue to log full sessions through Friday's practice, he should be all set to suit up for Sunday's game against the Dolphins as a meaningful depth addition to the Patriots' secondary.

Patriots' Karon Prunty: Headed to New England
Rotowire
The Patriots selected Prunty in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 171st overall.
Prunty (6-foot-1, 190 pounds) began his college career at Kansas and then spent three seasons with North Carolina AT&T before transferring to Wake Forest in 2025, where he was named to the All-ACC third team. It's something of a surprise to see Prunty come off the board this early, especially given that New England has a pair of entrenched starters at cornerback in Carlton Davis and Christian Gonzalez. As a rookie, Prunty will need to compete for depth opportunities with Kindle Vildor, Charles Woods, Kobee Minor and Marcellas Dial (ACL).
