Iton (undisclosed) was hosted for a workout with the Packers on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Iton was waived from injured reserve by the Patriots in early September after suffering an undisclosed injury, and he now appears to be back to full health. The Packers just lost Javon Hargrave (Achilles) for the rest of the season, so Iton could provide them with an additional option on the interior defensive line.

Rotowire
Jones (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Jones exited the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest with a shoulder injury. Jones' exit came with the Patriots up 45-17, meaning the linebacker will likely not return to the contest regardless of the results of his evaluation.

Patriots' Charles Woods: Exits with shoulder injury
Rotowire
Woods (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Woods overcame a shoulder injury to play in Sunday's contest. The cornerback may have aggravated the injury during the course of the game, making it uncertain how significant the injury remains. Fourth-string defensive back Elliott Davison is set to operate opposite third-string option Kindle Vildor at outside cornerback due to the injuries to the Patriots' secondary.

Patriots' Christian Elliss: Set to play Week 5
Rotowire
Elliss (chest) is active Week 5 against the Raiders.
It wasn't a sure thing that Elliss would suit up after only participating in practice in a limited basis all week, but that ended up being enough. The veteran linebacker played through a similar issue last week against Buffalo, where he logged six combined tackles across 58 defensive snaps.

Patriots' Dre'Mont Jones: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Jones (shoulder) is active Week 5 against the Raiders.
Jones has been a regular on the injury report this season due to ongoing shoulder issues, but so far he has only missed Week 3. He'll suit up for Sunday's home matchup after logging zero tackles on 43 defensive snaps a week ago against Buffalo.

Patriots' Charles Woods: Set to play
Rotowire
Woods (shoulder) is active Week 5 against the Raiders.
Woods suiting up was essentially a necessity for New England, who has four cornerbacks listed on the inactive list Sunday. The third-year defensive back -- who has 18 combined tackles through the first four weeks -- should be in line for a heavy snap count.

Patriots' Craig Woodson: Suiting up Week 5
Rotowire
Woodson (shoulder) is active Week 5 against the Raiders.
Woodson will suit up for the second consecutive week despite logging only limited practices Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The second-year defensive back dealt with a similar injury a week ago, but still logged three combined tackles and an interception on 58 defensive snaps.

Patriots' Kindle Vildor: Signed to New England's 53-man roster
Rotowire
The Patriots signed Vildor off the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
Vildor opted to stay in New England on the practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He's now on the active roster to bolster the Patriots' depth in the secondary, as the team will be without four cornerbacks -- including starting outside corners Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) and Carlton Davis (neck) -- for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Patriots' Brenden Schooler: Cleared to make 2026 debut Sunday
Rotowire
The Patriots activated Schooler (back) from injured reserve Saturday, and he does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Schooler has been cleared to make his regular-season debut Sunday after missing the Patriots' first four games while recovering from a back injury. He should see most of his playing time on special teams, though he could also see some snaps on defense given the Patriots' injuries in the secondary.

Patriots' Charles Woods: Questionable for Week 5
Rotowire
Woods (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
The Patriots' secondary is already without starting outside corners Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) and Carlton Davis (neck), so having Woods available for Sunday's game would be a big help for New England. Woods has 18 tackles (14 solo) and one pass defense through four regular-season games.

Patriots' Karon Prunty: Idle for Week 5
Rotowire
Prunty (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Las Vegas.
Prunty didn't practice all week due to a hamstring injury, which he likely picked up during the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Bills. The rookie fifth-rounder's next chance to play is Week 6 against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 18, but his absence means the Patriots will have one less contributor on special teams.

Patriots' Dre'Mont Jones: Questionable for Week 5
Rotowire
Jones (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Jones has been working through a shoulder issue for the past couple of weeks, and he's drawn the questionable tag for Sunday's game after being limited in practice all week. Rookie second-rounder Gabe Jacas would take on an elevated role against the Raiders if Jones is not cleared to play.

Patriots' Christian Elliss: Iffy for Week 5
Rotowire
Elliss (chest) is listed as questionable against the Raiders on Sunday.
Elliss was able to play through a chest injury against the Bills in Week 4, and he's drawn the questionable tag for Week 5 after stringing together a trio of limited practices. If he cannot play against Las Vegas, then Darius Muasau and Erick Hunter would be the top candidates to start next to Robert Spillane at inside linebacker.

Patriots' Christian Barmore: Tagged as questionable vs. Raiders
Rotowire
Barmore (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
A shoulder injury prevented Barmore from playing in the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Bills. He opened Week 5 prep with back-to-back limited practices before logging a full session Friday, but whether he can play Sunday may not be officially known until about 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Patriots announce their list of inactive players. His return would revert Joshua Farmer and DaQuan Jones to rotational roles at defensive end, with Milton Williams being the other starter at the position.

Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Missing second consecutive game
Rotowire
Gonzalez (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Las Vegas.
Gonzalez will be held out for a second-straight week due to a shoulder injury, which prevented him from practicing during Week 5 prep. Carlton Davis (neck), Karon Prunty (hamstring) and Channing Canada (hamstring) has also been ruled out, so the Patriots may have to start Charles Woods (shouler) and Marcus Jones at outside cornerback against the Raiders on Sunday.

Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Unlikely to play in Week 5
Rotowire
Gonzalez (shoulder) did not participate at the Patriots' practice Thursday.
Gonzalez missed his fifth straight practice as he continues to work his way back from a shoulder injury that he suffered Week 3 against Jacksonville. The cornerback seems likely to miss a second straight contest in Week 5, setting up Charles Woods (shoulder) and Karon Prunty (hamstring) to potentially operate in more substantial roles again Sunday versus Las Vegas.

Patriots' Christian Barmore: Remains limited Thursday
Rotowire
Barmore (shoulder) was a limited participant at the Patriots' practice Thursday.
Barmore has logged consecutive limited practices to open the week after failing to practice at all last week before missing the team's Week 4 win over Buffalo. The defensive lineman has been dealing with a shoulder injury since Week 3, and he'll have one more chance to log a full practice Friday prior to Sunday's matchup with Las Vegas.

Patriots' Carlton Davis: Misses practice Thursday
Rotowire
Davis (neck) did not participate at the Patriots' practice Thursday.
Davis has missed back-to-back practices to open the week with a neck injury that he may have suffered in Week 4 versus Buffalo. The cornerback will have one more chance to return to practice Friday before Sunday's matchup with the Raiders.

Patriots' Charles Woods: 'feeling great' after injury Sunday
Rotowire
Woods (shoulder) exited Sunday's 29-26 win over the Bills. He finished with two tackles (one solo).
Ethan Hurwitz of Patriots on SI reported Woods suffered a stinger, though the 24-year-old stated, "he's feeling great." However, despite the positive update, he could carry an injury designation heading into the Week 5 meeting with the Raiders. Woods had 16 total tackles (13 solo) and one pass defended in the first three games of the 2026 campaign.
