The New England Patriots will be without both of their starting safeties, Kyle Dugger and Jabrill Peppers, for their game against the Miami Dolphins. This situation raises concerns for the Patriots' defense as they look to fill the gaps left by these key players. Jaylinn Hawkins is expected to start in one safety position, while the other spot remains uncertain. Despite some key defensive players being questionable, the Patriots will still have CB Jonathan Jones, CB Marcus Jones, and Edge Anfernee Jennings available for the matchup.

• The absence of both starting safeties is a significant blow to the Patriots' defense.
• Jaylinn Hawkins will step in, but the effectiveness of the secondary may be compromised.
