  • Patriots' Eli Raridon: Quiet Sunday despite extended opportunity

    Raridon had one reception for five yards on four targets in New England's 24-19 win over the Dophins on Sunday.

    Raridon's lone reception went for five yards early in the first quarter. He didn't record another catch the remainder of the contest despite logging a hefty 93 percent offensive snap share, largely due to No .1 tight end Hunter Henry departing in the first half due to a foot injury. Should Henry remain sidelined in Week 9, Raridon will have another big opportunity to produce in a home tilt against Green Bay.

  • Patriots' Eli Raridon: Gets into end zone Thursday

    Raridon caught three of four targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's Week 7 loss to the Bears.

    Raridon got open late in the third quarter and hauled in a nicely placed pass from Drake Maye for a 30-yard score. The rookie tight end finished third on the team with 56 receiving yards and tied for third with three receptions. Raridon is clearly behind Hunter Henry, who posted a 7-71-0 receiving line on seven targets, in the tight-end pecking order, but he's shown promise early in his career with 12 catches on 16 targets for 168 yards and two TDs through six games.

  • Patriots' Eli Raridon: Productive in Week 5 victory

    Raridon caught all five of his targets for 57 yards during the Patriots' 45-17 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    The rookie third-rounder accumulated three catches (on four targets) for 44 yards and a score in each of his first three games, and he eclipsed those receiving marks (except the score) during Sunday's blowout win. His five catches co-led the Patriots with Efton Chism, and the duo finished tied for the third-most receiving yards behind Kyle Williams (91) and DeMario Douglas (65). Raridon's 43 offensive snaps were only slightly behind top tight end Hunter Henry (48), and the former has played more than 50 percent of New England's offensive snaps in each of the last two weeks. The Patriots will stay home for Week 6 to host the Jets on Oct. 18 in an AFC East divisional showdown.

  • Patriots' Eli Raridon: Not listed on injury report

    Raridon (ankle) was not listed in Wednesday's injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Raridon exited Sunday's win over the Bills due to an ankle injury. However, he's not listed on the injury report ahead of the Week 5 meeting with Las Vegas.

  • Patriots' Eli Raridon: Questionable to return Sunday

    Raridon (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Buffalo.

    Raridon didn't play in Week 3 against the Jaguars due to a hamstring injury. However, an ankle injury could mean he won't be back in Week 4. If Raridon can't return, Cameron Latu could see more work behind Hunter Henry.

  • Patriots' Eli Raridon: Back in action in Week 4

    Raridon (thigh) is listed as active Sunday at Buffalo.

    After missing Week 3 due to a thigh injury, Raridon was limited on all three Week 4 practice reports and then listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. Now that the rookie third-rounder is confirmed to be available, he'll hop back in as the No. 2 TE behind Hunter Henry, which so far has equated to a 2-32-1 line on two targets through the first two games of his career.

  • Patriots' Eli Raridon: Chance to return for Week 4

    Raridon (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports.

    Raridon was a limited participant in all three practices during Week 4 prep, which was enough for the rookie third-rounder to draw the questionable tag for Sunday's AFC East showdown. If Raridon is cleared to play, then he would slot behind Hunter Henry on the tight end depth chart ahead of Cameron Latu and Tanner Arkin.

  • Patriots' Eli Raridon: Another limited practice session Thursday

    Raridon (thigh) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Raridon was limited again Thursday. If the thigh injury keeps the rookie off the field in the Week 4 meeting with the Bills, Tanner Arkin could see more snaps behind Hunter Henry and Cameron Latu.

  • Patriots' Eli Raridon: Limited to open Week 4 prep

    Raridon (thigh) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

    A thigh injury prevented the rookie third-rounder from playing against the Jaguars in Week 3. He was limited in all three practices prior to New England's loss to Jacksonville, so he may have to log a full practice over the next two days to have a realistic chance of playing Sunday against Buffalo.

  • Patriots' Eli Raridon: Won't play Week 3

    Raridon (thigh) is listed as inactive Week 3 against the Jaguars.

    Raridon saw the field for 36 snaps in Week 1, but his Week 2 showing was cut significantly after exiting the game with a thigh injury. After missing practice Thursday and Friday, the rookie will ultimately miss his first career game, paving the way for Cameron Latu and Tanner Arkin to work in a reserve capacity behind starting tight end Hunter Henry.
