Top Marcellas Dial News

  • Patriots' Marcellas Dial: Present during OTAs

    Dial (knee) is participating during the Patriots' OTAs, Sophie Weller of USA Today reports.

    Dial spent the whole 2025 season on IR after tearing his ACL during training camp, but he's now back on the practice field with his teammates. In his rookie year in 2024, he played 60 snaps on defense and 363 snaps on special teams.

  • Patriots' Marcellas Dial: Sent to IR

    The Patriots placed Dial (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Dial suffered a torn ACL in Monday's practice and will miss the 2025 season. He was a sixth-round pick in the 2024 Draft and appeared in all 17 regular-season games as a rookie, registering 12 tackles (six solo) and one forced fumble.

  • Patriots' Marcellas Dial: Tending to torn ACL

    Dial sustained a ruptured ACL during Monday's training camp practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    It's the worst case scenario for Dial, who will now miss the entire 2025 season as he recovers. As he works toward a return in 2026, his absence could create additional opportunities for rookie seventh-rounder Kobee Minor.

  • Patriots' Marcellas Dial: Good to go for Week 11

    Dial (concussion) practiced in full Friday and carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Dial was diagnosed with a concussion during the Patriots' Week 10 win over the Bears. He was able to increase his participation across practice this week, and he has been cleared by an independent neurologist ahead of Sunday's game. The rookie sixth-round pick has mostly played on special teams this season and has logged four tackles (two solo) and one forced fumble across 10 regular-season games.

  • Patriots' Marcellas Dial: Ruled out Sunday

    Dial (head) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup versus the Bears.

    Dial will be unable to return against Chicago after sustaining a head injury in the second half of the game. Marco Wilson will likely see an expanded role in Dial's absence.

  • Patriots' Marcellas Dial: Questionable to return

    Dial (head) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus the Bears.

    Dial suffered a head injury in the second half of Sunday's matchup, leaving his status for the remainder of the game up in the air. If he ends up being unable to return, Marco Wilson could see an uptick in playing time.

  • Patriots' Marcellas Dial: New England lands in sixth round

    The Patriots selected Dial in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 180th overall.

    Dial didn't have much hype as a prospect but he's a three-year starter from a strong South Carolina pass defense, and at 6-feet, 190 pounds he has very good athletic traits. Dial's 4.47-second 40-yard dash is solid, but when you account for his reach (32-inch arms) and jumps (40.5-inch vertical, 129-inch broad jump), it's clear that Dial is one of the toolsiest corners in the draft. The Patriots will hope to refine those tools and presumably look to turn Dial into a press-heavy corner on the boundary.
