New England Patriots Injury Report: Week 7

Key Injuries

The Patriots injury report for Week 7 reveals several key players who are questionable or out for the team's upcoming game against the Chicago Bears. Wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, who leads the team in receptions and receiving yards, is questionable with a knee injury. Running back Damien Harris, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, is also questionable. Additionally, starting cornerback Jalen Mills is out with a hamstring injury, and starting safety Kyle Dugger is doubtful with an ankle injury.

Other Notable Injuries

In addition to the key injuries listed above, several other players are listed on the injury report with various ailments. Defensive tackle Christian Barmore is questionable with a knee injury, and defensive end Deatrich Wise is also questionable with an ankle injury. Wide receiver Kendrick Bourne is questionable with a toe injury, and tight end Jonnu Smith is questionable with an ankle injury.

Impact on the Game

The injuries to Meyers and Harris could have a significant impact on the Patriots' offense. Meyers is the team's leading receiver and a key target for quarterback Mac Jones. Harris has been the team's lead running back and has been effective in both the running and passing game. The injuries to Mills and Dugger could also have a major impact on the Patriots' defense. Mills is a key piece of the Patriots' secondary, and Dugger has been one of the team's best defensive players this season.

Next Steps

The Patriots will continue to monitor the status of their injured players throughout the week. If Meyers and Harris are unable to play, the Patriots will likely need to rely more on other receivers, such as DeVante Parker and Nelson Agholor. The Patriots may also need to adjust their defensive scheme to account for the injuries to Mills and Dugger.
