Make sure to keep up with NFL breaking news this weekend for updates on practice-squad activations and/or New England's defensive injuries (see below).
Good to Go 💯
Cleared to Play
QB Sam Darnold (oblique)- FB Brady Russell (hand)
- LT Charles Cross (foot)
- S Nick Emmanwori (ankle)
QB Drake Maye (shoulder)- WR Mack Hollins (abdomen)
Ruled Out/Doubtful 🚑
Out/Doubtful
- N/A
Both teams have a bunch of backups on injured reserve, but there's nobody listed as doubtful or out on the active rosters.
Truly Questionable / Game-Time Decisions 🤔
- ILB Robert Spillane (ankle)
- OLB Harold Landry (knee)
Landry missed the AFC Championship Game, in which Spillane suffered his ankle injury. Spillane returned to practice Thursday and Friday as a limited participant, while Landry sandwiched limited practices (Wednesday and Friday) around one absence (Thursday). During the regular season, Spillane led the team in tackles (97 in 13 games), and Landry led the team in sacks (8.5).
- FB Robbie Ouzts (neck)
Ouzts missed the NFC Championship Game, in which fellow fullback Brady Russell suffered a hand injury. Russell has since been cleared to play after upgrading to full practice participation, while Ouzts is questionable after being a limited practice participant all week. Ouzts played ahead of Russell for most of the season, when healthy, but the Seahawks should be fine either way, as they also have solid depth at WR and TE.
Notable #Patriots gameday designations.

Harold Landry (knee) Robert Spillane (ankle) both questionable but on Spillane specifically one team source told me Spillane. "Knowing him I think he will do whatever he can to make it." pic.twitter.com/Zexxa75L0I
