Patriots Week 5 Injury Report: Key Starter Among 10 Players Limited

The New England Patriots’ first Week 5 injury report is a lengthy one.

Edge rusther Matthew Judon and rookie cornerback Christian Gonzalez both were non-participants, as expected. Both likely are out for the rest of the season due to biceps and labrum injuries, respectively.

The Patriots also listed 10 players as “limited,” including five holdovers. The new additions are running backs Rhamondre Stevenson and Ty Montgomery, defensive lineman Trey Flowers, tackle Riley Reiff and special teamer Cody Davis.

Flowers and Davis both were on the physically unable to perform list, whereas Reiff was on injured reserve. New England now has 21 days to add them to the 53-man roster.

Stevenson and Montgomery are the true surprise additions. Stevenson’s status will be especially worth monitoring in the days ahead.
