The New England Patriots will be without safety Kyle Dugger for their game against the New York Jets due to an ankle injury. Dugger was a late addition to the injury report, raising concerns about his availability. His absence will see Marte Mapu and Jaylinn Hawkins stepping up as the starting safeties. Additionally, edge rusher Josh Uche is a healthy scratch, which could signal a potential trade as he has not been seeing significant playing time.

• Patriots' defense is impacted by Dugger's absence.
• Josh Uche's healthy scratch may indicate a trade.
