  Patriots | New England's Week 9 injury report    Fri Nov 4, 04:30 PM

New England Patriots C David Andrews (concussion) and WR DeVante Parker (knee) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 9 versus the Indianapolis Colts. OT Marcus Cannon (concussion) did not practice for a second consecutive day on Friday, Nov. 4, and has also been ruled out. CB Jack Jones (illness) did not practice Friday and is listed as questionable. RB Damien Harris (illness), DT Christian Barmore (knee), S Kyle Dugger (ankle), RB Pierre Strong (hamstring), LB Josh Uche (hamstring) and DE Deatrich Wise Jr. (ankle) were limited in practice Friday and are also listed as questionable. S Devin McCourty (non-injury), DB Adrian Phillips (shoulder) and WR Matthew Slater (hamstring) were not given a practice designation Friday but are expected to be available.

Footballguys view: Harris hasn't practiced this week, so we could see a large dose of Rhamondre Stevenson again in Week 9. With Parker sitting, the Patriots pass offense will be missing a downfield element and easier to defend.

  Patriots | Devin McCourty non-committal    Thu Jan 30, 02:08 PM

New England Patriots S Devin McCourty, a pending free agent, said Thursday, Jan. 30, he isn't committed to re-signing with the Patriots. 'I think for right now, I can't answer that,' McCourty said.

Footballguys view: McCourty will be 33-years old later this year but he can still be a solid starter in the pros. Safeties are getting paid in a big way, but his age will keep McCourty from getting a huge contract. Instead, some team should get a strong starter for a good price. According to OverTheCap.com, the Patriots have around $46.9 million in salary cap space for 2020.

  Patriots | Several veterans may depart    Fri Feb 8, 01:22 AM

New England Patriots WRs Cordarrelle Patterson and Chris Hogan could be allowed to leave via free agency, in the opinion of Forbes' J.P. Pelzman, who also believes the team could release LB Dont'a Hightower and S Devin McCourty to free up more than $15 million in salary cap space.

Footballguys view: OverTheCap.com currently lists the Patriots near the bottom of the NFL with only $17.8 million in cap space at this time. They could make some moves in order to keep some of their own key free agents.

New England Patriots CB Devin McCourty said he has not thought about whether or not to retire if the Patriots win Super Bowl LIII. McCourty is signed through the 2019 season.

Footballguys view: McCourty was reunited with his brother this year. He didn't close the door on retirement, so it's a possibility. He has been a mainstay in the Patriots secondary for almost a decade and would be tough to replace.

  Patriots | Friday practice report for Patriots    Fri Jan 26, 04:45 PM

New England Patriots DE Deatrich Wise Jr. (concussion) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 26, and would have been ruled out if the team played this weekend. DT Malcom Brown (foot) did not practice and would have been listed as questionable. RB Mike Gillislee (knee) and OT LaAdrian Waddle (knee) were limited during practice and would have been listed as questionable. FS Devin McCourty (shoulder) fully participated in practice and would not have been on the injury report.

Footballguys view: Wise joins Rob Gronkowski on the list of players needing to clear concussion protocol to play in the Super Bowl. The defensive line and pass rush are both thin for the Patriots, so his services will be missed if he is not able to play next Sunday.
