Patriots' Jaylinn Hawkins: Five stops in Week 11 win
Hawkins posted five tackles (four solo) during the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday.

The sixth-year safety has accumulated 43 tackles (32 solo), including 1.5 sacks, two interceptions and one fumble recovery across nine regular-season games.

Patriots' Jaylinn Hawkins: Nursing shoulder injury
Hawkins (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on Monday's injury report.
Hawkins likely picked up the injury during the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, when he logged six tackles (four solo) while playing 66 of 69 defensive snaps. New England held a walkthrough Monday, so the sixth-year safety will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of Thursday's AFC East clash against the Jets.

Patriots' Jaylinn Hawkins: Spectacular interception in Week 8
Hawkins recorded five tackles (four solo) and an interception during the Patriots' 32-13 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Hawkins was cleared to play Sunday after missing the prior two games due to a hamstring injury. The 2020 fourth-rounder played every single defensive snap and arguably made the play of the game in the third quarter, when he made a one-handed, diving pick on a deep pass intended for Isaiah Bond, which led to a 39-yard touchdown pass from Drake Maye to Kayshon Boutte five plays later. It was Hawkins' second interception of the season, which matches his career high from 2021 and 2022.

Patriots' Jaylinn Hawkins: Past hamstring issue
Hawkins (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
A hamstring injury sidelined Hawkins for the Patriots' last two games, but the 2020 fourth-rounder is on track to return for Week 8 against the Browns on Sunday. Hawkins' return will mean less snaps at safety for Kyle Dugger, though rookie fourth-rounder Craig Woodson is nursing an ankle injury that prevented him practicing Wednesday.

Patriots' Jaylinn Hawkins: Out for Week 6
Hawkins (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Hawkins played through his hamstring injury in New England's Week 5 win over the Bills, recording three total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, across 68 defensive snaps. However, the injury likely worsened during the win, as he began the Patriots' week of practice with consecutive DNPs and has since been ruled out for Sunday's contest. While Hawkins is sidelined in Week 6, Kyle Dugger is expected to step in and start at strong safety.

The 2020 fourth-rounder is still working through the injury but would likely be cleared to suit up against the Saints on Sunday if he were to practice in full over the next two days.

Patriots' Jaylinn Hawkins: Sits out practice
Hawkins (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.
Hawkins played just 57 percent of defensive snaps Week 4 after essentially being an every-down starter the first three weeks of the regular season. It appears that change in workload was due to injury, making Hawkins' status unclear for Sunday's road divisional matchup against the Bills. He'll likely need to get back on the practice field Thursday and/or Friday to have a chance at playing Week 5.

Patriots' Jaylinn Hawkins: Impresses in Week 1
Hawkins recorded five total tackles (all solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one interception in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Raiders.
The 28-year-old safety appears to have emerged as the Patriots' top strong safety after starting just seven of 17 games in his first season with the team in 2024. Hawkins played 100 percent of the Patriots' defensive snaps in Week 1 and made a huge impact, picking off Geno Smith for Hawkins' first interception since 2022. Additionally, Hawkins was one of three Patriots to get to the quarterback Sunday, logging the first full sack of his career. He'll look to build on this impressive defensive performance when the Patriots face the Dolphins in Week 2.

Hawkins will stay in New England for the 2025 campaign after having racked up 48 tackles (27 solo) and a fumble recovery in 17 games last season.
