Pats Pulpit
The New England Patriots began preparations for the Tennessee Titans without Harold Landry III.
The defensive captain and sack leader was sidelined from Wednesday’s practice in Foxborough. He had played through an ankle injury last weekend against the New Orleans Saints after spending time in the blue medical tent.
Fellow outside linebacker Anfernee Jennings and safety Jaylinn Hawkins joined the 2018 draft choice on the list of non-participants.
Here’s the first injury report heading into Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Nissan Stadium.
Due to ankle and hamstring injuries, respectively, the Patriots ruled out Jennings and Hawkins before the visit to the Caesars Superdome. Both finished last week as non-participants. That continued on Wednesday as part of a sidelined group of three. As for Landry off the edges, he has started and stayed in for 81.7 percent of the defensive snaps this fall. The former Titans Pro Bowler stands with 22 tackles, 4.5 sacks and one forced fumble.
The Patriots returned to the practice fields with four limited participants. Veteran starters on the offensive side of the ball were among them. Diggs was partial due to a chest injury after catching three passes for 28 yards and having an outstretched 52-yarder called back for offensive pass interference in New Orleans. Along with the wide receiver, Moses was partial due to a hip injury. The 34-year-old right tackle has been in for 98.4 percent of the O-line’s workload thus far.
The top selections from the 2023 Patriots draft class were back in full to start Titans prep. White missed three consecutive practices last week on the way to being ruled out due to an elbow injury. As for Gonzalez, who missed the initial three games of September because of a lingering hamstring injury, he had recently been limited and questionable. But the reigning All-Pro cornerback handled 55 out of 56 defensive snaps in what became a 25-19 win last Sunday.
