Landry (undisclosed) was moved to the reserve/PUP list by the Patriots on Sunday.
Landry spent the entirety of training camp and the preseason on the active/PUP list with an undisclosed injury. The 30-year-old will now be sidelined for at least four contests to open the 2026 campaign, and the earliest he'd be able to return to action is Week 5 against the Raiders on Oct. 11. In his absence, Elijah Ponder is a top candidate to start opposite of Dre'Mont Jones at outside linebacker.

Patriots' Harold Landry: Could be activated soon
Rotowire
Landry (undisclosed) could be activated off the active/PUP list before Sunday's roster cutdowns, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
Landry opened training camp on the active/PUP list in late July. The starting linebacker has a chance to be activated before Sunday's cutdown, but if he isn't, he will be forced to sit out at least the first four games of the regular season on injured reserve. If Landry is unavailable Week 1 against the Seahawks, Gabe Jacas or Bradyn Swinson will likely start opposite Dre'Mont Jones on the edge.

Patriots' Harold Landry: Opening camp on PUP
Rotowire
Landry (undisclosed) will begin training camp on the active/PUP list, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
The nature and severity of Landry's injury is unclear, but it's severe enough for the veteran pass rusher to miss out on practice time. Because he's on the PUP list, Landry would be eligible to return to practice and preseason games at any time during training camp. After spending the first six years of his NFL career with the Titans, the Boston College product finished the 2025 season with 49 tackles (27 solo), including 8.5 sacks, and one forced fumble across 15 regular-season games for the Patriots.
Patriots' Harold Landry: Posts 8.5 sacks in first year in NE
Rotowire
Landry totaled 49 tackles, including 8.5 sacks, along with a forced fumble over 15 regular-season games (14 starts) in 2025.
Landry joined the Patriots last March after seven years with Tennessee. The Boston College product logged his fewest defensive snaps (673) since his rookie 2018 campaign, but he still paced New England with 8.5 regular-season sacks. Landry was bothered by a knee injury in the playoffs and missed the AFC Championship Game against Denver, but he was able to return to play in the Super Bowl against Seattle. However, he logged just 14 defensive snaps. Landry should be healthy by the start of next season, when he'll in the second year of a three-year contract.

Patriots' Harold Landry: Good to go against Seattle
Rotowire
Landry (knee) is active for Sunday's Super Bowl LX clash against the Seahawks.
Landry had his practice reps limited over the last two weeks in order to manage a lingering knee issue. He drew the questionable tag after posting an LP-DNP-LP practice log this past week, but the veteran edge rusher has been given the green light to play in Sunday's Super Bowl after not playing in the AFC Championship Game against the Broncos. Landry saw limited snaps on defense in his two playoff outings with the Patriots, and if that's the case against Seattle, then both Elijah Ponder and Anfernee Jennings would be in line for more work.
Landry (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Super Bowl LX on Sunday, Feb. 8.
Landry was able to return to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday before downgrading to a non-participant Thursday. The linebacker ended the week strong by once again upgrading to a limited participant Friday, and his status for Sunday's Super Bowl matchup with the Seahawks remains in question. If Landry cannot suit up, Elijah Ponder and Anfernee Jennings will likely split snaps as the outside linebacker opposite K'Lavon Chaisson, as they did in the AFC Championship Game victory over the Broncos.
Landry (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday.
The outside linebacker aggravated the knee injury during New England's divisional-round win over Houston, missed the AFC Championship Game victory over Denver and didn't practice at all last week. Landry did manage to return to the practice field on a limited basis Wednesday. At this point, it's an open question whether he'll play in Sunday's Super Bowl, and if he can't go, Anfernee Jennings and Elijah Ponder should be next in line to take the field.
