New England Patriots defensive end/linebacker K’Lavon Chaisson missed the team’s Week 5 “Sunday Night Football” upset over the Buffalo Bills due to a knee injury.
The LSU product returned to practice on Wednesday, however, four days ahead of the group’s Week 6 contest vs. the New Orleans Saints.
ESPN’s Mike Reiss provided an update on both Chaisson and defensive end Keion White.
“DE Keion White, who had a sleeve over his right elbow, worked to the side on conditioning during media-access portion of Patriots practice. White didn’t finish Sunday’s game due to injury,” Reiss posted on Bluesky. “Meanwhile, DE K’Lavon Chaisson, who missed Sunday’s game (knee), returned to practice.”
The 26-year-old Chaisson has been one of the Patriots best defenders this season.
He enters Week 6 ranked second on the team with five quarterback hits and tied for second with 2.5 sacks.
Chaisson signed with New England in March after spending four seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars and the 2024 campaign with the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Patriots will face the Saints at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday in New Orleans.
