Patriots Injury Report: Key O-Lineman Sits Out Practice; Damien Harris Limited

New England Patriots offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor did not practice Thursday, putting his status for Sunday’s matchup with the Miami Dolphins in doubt.

Eluemunor is dealing with an ankle that limited him in Wednesday’s practice. He has started the Patriots’ last three games at left tackle in place of Isaiah Wynn, who has yet to return from injured reserve.

Eluemunor also started four games at right tackle earlier in the season.

Rookie Justin Herron has rotated with Eluemunor and likely would start at left tackle Sunday if the latter is unavailable. Herron also is nursing an ankle injury, however, and has been limited in both practices this week.

A total of 13 players were limited Thursday, including running back Damien Harris, who was added to the injury report after fully participating Wednesday

Harris left last week’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams with a back injury but is listed with an ankle injury.
