The New England Patriots had three new names on Thursday’s injury report, including two starters.
Safety Kyle Dugger, offensive guard Layden Robinson and running back JaMycal Hasty were listed as limited in practice. Dugger is one of the Patriots’ key defensive players, while Robinson made his first NFL start as a rookie in Week 1.
Robinson played in 100 percent of the offensive snaps with both Cole Strange and Sidy Sow sidelined with injuries. The team is likely depending on him to have a big role again in Sunday’s home opener at Gillette Stadium against the Seattle Seahawks, assuming he’s healthy enough to play.

Dugger is dealing with an ankle injury, and Robinson is suffering from a shoulder problem. Both injuries should be monitored leading up to kick-off in Week 2.
Sow being out in multiple practices could signal that he’s unlikely to play in the game. He missed the opener against the Cincinnati Bengals, and he appears to be trending towards missing a second straight game with an ankle injury.
