The Patriots will kick off their home opener in one hour, hosting the Baltimore Ravens. New England announced their inactive list that Jakobi Meyers and Kyle Dugger headline.
Patriots Inactives:
WR Jakobi Meyers
FS Kyle Dugger
ILB Raekwon McMillan
DT Sam Roberts
QB Bailey Zappe
The Patriots will be without their most reliable receiver Jakobi Meyers, who has tallied up 13 receptions for 150 yards this season. Meyers has been battling a knee injury and did not practice Tuesday and Wednesday while being limited on Friday. Last week in Pittsburgh, he was targeted a team-high 13 times. Instead, the Patriots will have Nelson Agholor, DeVante Parker, and Lil’l Jordan Humphrey as their receivers today.
Kyle Dugger is also inactive for today’s game with a knee injury. Although the Patriots have safety depth with Devin McCourty, Adrian Phillips, and Jabrill Peppers, Kyle Dugger will be a huge loss for the Patriots defense. Furthermore, Safety Joshua Bledsoe will be making his NFL debut today.
On Thursday, cornerback Jalen Mills will play through a hamstring injury that put him on the injury report. He was a game-time decision, and Adrian Phillips is also good to go after being listed as questionable.
Meanwhile, QB Bailey Zappe, DL Sam Roberts, and CB Shaun Wade are healthy scratches. Wade was active last week but was on the sideline for the game.
Ravens Inactives:
WR James Proche II
RB Kenyan Drake
CB Daryl Worley
OT Ronnie Stanley
DE Brent Urban
Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m. on FOX.
