The New England Patriots ruled one player out of Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, while also listing seven others as questionable to play in London in Week 7.
It is slated to be a battle between teams with two of the worst records in the NFL. New England got blown out in rookie quarterback Drake Maye’s debut as a starter against the Houston Texans last week, while the Jaguars got trampled on by the Chicago Bears.
Now both the Patriots and Jaguars have a 1-5 record ahead of their showdown on neutral soil.
The Patriots got some good news with running back Rhamondre Stevenson closer to a return. However, veteran offensive tackle Vederian Lowe has already been ruled out with an ankle injury.
Here’s both injury reports for the Patriots and Jaguars:

RB Rhamondre Stevenson injury update
Running back Rhamondre Stevenson appears to be nearing a return to the football field. He has been dealing with a lingering foot injury that kept him out of last week’s loss to the Texans. On Friday, he told media members he’s feeling like he’ll be ready to play.
Vederian Lowe injury update
Patriots offensive tackle Vederian Lowe has been ruled out for Sunday’s game with an ankle injury, His absence is another blow to the offensive depth at the tackle position, which remains a thorn in the side for the Patriots.
WR Javon Baker injury update
Patriots rookie wide receiver Javon Baker was inactive last week against the Houston Texans, and on Friday, he popped up on the injury report as questionable with an illness. Baker appears to be falling further down the depth chart. Kendrick Bourne returning and Kayshon Boutte’s emergence haven’t helped his case.
