Status for two starters ‘up in the air’ for the Patriots in Week 2

New England Patriots safety Kyle Dugger, guard Layden Robinson and running back JaMycal Hasty were limited in practice for a second day, ahead of Sunday’s showdown with the Seattle Seahawks.

Per coach Jerod Mayo, via the Boston Herald’s Andrew Callahan, the status of all three players is “up in the air.”

Dugger had six tackles and a forced fumble in Sunday’s victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Meanwhile, Robinson was a key part of the offensive line, contributing on 100 percent of the offensive snaps.

Hasty did not have any touches in Sunday’s win.

All three are worth monitoring heading into Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks, but the loss of Dugger and Robinson in particular would mean the Patriots would be down two starters.

Dugger is a cornerstone at safety, while Robinson is continuing his development on the line. Hasty could be an important piece for running back depth with the Patriots shifting back to a run-heavy offensive identity.

The Patriots will look to secure their second victory in a row when taking on the Seahawks in their home opener. Not having Dugger and Robinson would make their already uphill climb even steeper in this game.
