    Will Campbell (knee) was limited on Thursday.

    The Patriots’ left tackle seemingly has a chance to play in Week 6 against the Jets. According to Mass Live’s Mark Daniels, Campbell “was out here moving well in full pads,” and lined up with the starters during the portion of practice open to the media. This is great news for Drake Maye.

    The same is true of left tackle Will Campbell, who also went down with an ankle injury in Week 5. It’s a remarkable turnaround for Henderson, who was initially expected to miss multiple weeks with a high-ankle sprain. He was limited in practice throughout the week before being listed as questionable on Friday. We expect Henderson to be on a pitch count this week, but he’s still capable of breaking a long run on just a few touches. Henderson is a high-risk FLEX play for Week 6.
  • NE OFFENSIVE TACKLE (SUB) #66
    Campbell injured his knee in Week 5, initially causing quite the scare. Fortunately, he was able to practice all week and has a chance to face the Jets and their talented pass-rush group in Week 6.
  • NE OFFENSIVE TACKLE (SUB) #66
    Campbell went down with what looked like a serious injury in the first half of New England’s win over the Raiders. He did not return to action. Campbell, per Pelissero, will be “week to week” headed into Week 6. The Patriots will likely be without him this weekend against the Jets.
  • NE OFFENSIVE TACKLE (SUB) #66
    Campbell will undergo an MRI tomorrow to fully assess the injury, but it seems likely that Drake Maye will be playing without his left tackle for a few weeks. They face the Jets, Bears and Dolphins over the next three weeks. Keeping Jets rookie EDGE David Bailey at bay could prove challenging.
  • NE OFFENSIVE TACKLE (SUB) #66
    Campbell had his leg rolled on in the second quarter and was down in obvious pain for a while before being helped off the field. Campbell was taken to the locker room for further evaluation and seems unlikely to return today. An extended absence for Campbell would be a tough blow for Drake Maye and the New England passing attack.
  • NE Offensive Lineman #66
    Vrabel on Tuesday offered a vociferous defense of the rookie following his postseason struggles while playing through a major knee injury. “Will is 22 years old. He’s our left tackle. He’ll get better. He’ll get stronger,” Vrabel said. “There’s plays he’d like to have back. We’re not moving Will to guard, center, tight end or anywhere else.” Pro Football Focus graded Campbell 110th out of 200 qualifying offensive linemen in pass blocking this season. He was graded 81st in run blocking. Campbell allowed nine sacks in 2025, the third most among all NFL offensive linemen. Assuming he’ll undergo offseason knee surgery, Campbell should be good to go for the 2026 season.
  • NE OFFENSIVE TACKLE (SUB) #66
    Campbell said the injury was no excuse for his abysmal play in the postseason, including in the Patriots’ Super Bowl loss to the Seahawks. Campbell was overwhelmed by the Seattle front seven from start to finish, as Drake Maye was pressured on 29 of his 53 drop backs and sacked six times. Campbell will presumably have offseason surgery to fix the injury. Hopefully for the Patriots, Campbell — the fourth overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft — will be better in 2026 than he was during his disastrous finish to the 2025 campaign.
  • NE OFFENSIVE TACKLE (SUB) #66
    The Patriots’ rookie left tackle is active for the first time since Week 12. He could be on something of a snap count as he looks to get his legs back ahead of the postseason, but the Pats remain in contention for the AFC’s No. 1 seed, if only faintly. Perhaps Campbell will play more than expected if circumstance dictates. Inactive for the Patriots are OT Marcus Bryant, OG Caedan Wallace, QB Tommy DeVito, EDGE Harold Landry, LB Robert Spillane, DT Khyiris Tonga and OG Jared Wilson.
  • NE OFFENSIVE TACKLE (SUB) #66
    Campbell was placed on injured reserve after suffering a torn MCL in Week 12 against the Bengals. The 21-year-old left tackle will have his 21-day practice window opened this week. He’s eligible to return from injured reserve for Week 18’s matchup with the Dolphins, though the Patriots will have to see him practice first. If all goes well, it looks like the Patriots will be getting a big piece of their offensive line back ahead of a potentially deep playoff run.
  • NE Tackle #66
    As expected, Campbell will miss at least four games. Campebll suffered a torn MCL in Week 12 and may be out until the playoffs, if not longer. Vederian Lowe took Campbell’s spot in the lineup last week. Head coach Mike Vrabel was noncommittal earlier in the week when asked about Campbell’s replacement. Rookie Marcus Bryant could also get a shot at the job. Either way, expect Drake Maye to be pressured far more often without his starting left tackle on the field.

    Azeez Al-Shaair left Houston’s Week 6 game against the Jaguars to be evaluated for a concussion.

    The Jaguars have been able to impose their will on the Texans in the run game in the first half, and this won’t help matters. Al-Shaair left after Jacksonville scored their first touchdown in the second quarter and was spotted walking to the locker room.

    NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports A.J. Brown (ankle) is expected to play “a good amount” in Week 6 against the Jets.

    Brown was activated from injured reserve this week and will suit up versus the Jets. It was reasonable to expect some sort of snap count in his first game back, but it sounds like Brown will be a full-go after looking great in practice this week. In desperate need of a true WR1 to step up, the Pats should pepper Brown with targets this week. He is back in the fantasy WR2 ranks after the lengthy absence.

    NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports Commanders owner Josh Harris “would love” for Dan Quinn to remain the team’s head coach.

    Garafolo says this as if Harris is simply a bystander watching Quinn bumble his way through another season. Garafolo did add that “anything is on the table” if the Commanders get blown out by the 49ers on national television on Monday. They are currently 7.5-point underdogs on most sportsbooks. With a bye week on deck after San Francisco, the Commanders could see Week 7 as the best time to pull the plug on Quinn.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that “no change is imminent” at head coach for the Saints.

    Saints owner Gayle Benson said earlier this week that the team’s 1-4 record is “not acceptable.” Rapoport noted that she came to practice in a “show of support” for Moore and company, though it felt equally like a show of force from the outside. Rapsheet also stressed several times that the team needs to start winning games. While a change at head coach might not happen next week, it does sound like Moore won’t survive the season if things don’t turn around soon.

    ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Najee Harris is “set to start” for the Giants in Week 6 against the Saints.

    Fowler was adding to a report from Jordan Raanan, who said Harris is “likely to have a larger role with Cam Skattebo downgraded but still part of the mix after the fumbles.” Skattebo has indeed struggled with fumbles, putting the ball on the ground four times this year. No running back has more fumbles, and Skattebo’s most recent blunder cost the Giants a shot at an overtime win versus the Commanders last week. They instead settled for a tie. Even if Skattebo winds up leading the team in carries this week, he was only valuable for fantasy managers because of his high-volume role. With that out the window, Skattebo is buried in the RB3 ranks for Week 6.

    ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Rico Dowdle (toe) is expected to play in Week 6 against the Bucs.

    Dowdle has been out since Week 2 because of the toe issue. In the meantime, Jaylen Warren has looked like one of the league’s most dynamic backs on the ground and through the air. While his gargantuan workload will return to normal with Dowdle back, Warren should still operate as the team’s unquestioned RB1. Dowdle is just a mid-range FLEX play for his first game back.

    ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler Jr. (ankle) is expected to play in Week 6 against the Packers.

    JPJ was downgraded to a limited participant in Friday before being hit with the questionable tag, causing some concern about his Week 6 availability. It looks like the light practice session may have been a precaution. The newly-minted Cowboys should be good to go versus Green Bay.

    ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Tyler Warren (groin) is a game-time decisions for Week 6 against the Titans.

    Warren suffered the groin injury during Friday’s practice. He was added to the injury report and listed as questionable for Week 6. Of note, Warren also dealt with a groin injury late in training camp, though he was ready to go for Week 1 and had not appeared on the injury report again until this week. Even if he does suit up, Warren will be at far less than 100 percent. Expect Josh Downs and Keenan Allen to take on more work whether or not Warren is active.

    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Tyler Shough has two broken bones in his non-throwing hand.

    Both Shough and Kellen Moore have given non-answers when asked about the quarterback’s left hand. Per Schefter, the injury could take a couple of months to heal, but it will not cost him any playing time. Shough injured his hand versus the Falcons in Week 4 and wore a protective glove in Week 5. He is coming off his two worst games of the year, though we don’t suspect the hand is to blame. Things get much easier this week with the Giants on tap. Shough will get another shot at a QB1 finish in Week 6.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Joe Alt (neck) is expected to “ramp up” this week.

    Pre Rapoport, Alt received good news after seeing a specialist for his neck injury earlier this week. Alt missed last week’s game with the issue and has already been ruled out for Week 6, but this is still a positive turn of events, all things considered. With a Week 7 bye on deck, Alt could be back as soon as the following week when the Bolts take on the Rams.
