The New England Patriots are banged up ahead of Sunday’s rematch with the rival New York Jets.
On Wednesday, the team released the first injury report of the week with seven players listed as non-participants. There were six more players limited for the practice session.
It’s a tough break for a Patriots team already missing key pieces. The last thing they need is even more injuries when heading in to face an angry and desperate Jets team.
With that said, the injury report for the Jets looked long as well on Wednesday.

Ja’Lynn Polk injury update
Polk has officially been placed in concussion protocol, which means he’ll likely be inactive for Sunday’s matchup against the Jets. Perhaps his likely absence will open up an opportunity for rookie wideout Javon Baker or Tyquan Thornton to get back on the field.
Keion White injury update
White was a non-participant at practice on Wednesday, but he was made available to the media. That could potentially be good news for his availability on Sunday. Regardless, his practice status is worth monitoring in the coming days.
Anfernee Jennings injury update
Jennings was on the field briefly for team stretches, but he didn’t participate in practice. He is currently dealing with a shoulder and knee issue.
