White (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
The third-year pro from Georgia Tech didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday after sustaining an elbow injury in the Week 5 win over the Bills, so it's no surprise that he'll be out for Sunday's matchup. White has played 107 defensive snaps across four contests this season, recording five total tackles. In his stead, Elijah Ponder is likely to serve as New England's top reserve outside linebacker.

Rotowire
White (illness) is active for Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh.
An illness kept White out of last Sunday's game against Miami, but he was able to practice in full Thursday and Friday this week, and is thus ready to return for the battle against the Steelers. White logged 45 percent of the Patriots' defensive snaps Week 1 against Las Vegas and could take on a similar workload Sunday.

Patriots' Keion White: Out for Week 2
Rotowire
White (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
White missed the Patriots' first two practices this week due to an illness, making it no surprise that he's unavailable to face the Dolphins on Sunday. The Georgia Tech product contributed on defense and special teams in Week 1, recording two total tackles while playing 37 total snaps (28 on defense and nine on special teams). Jack Gibbens and Anfernee Jennings will likely see increased defensive work as rotational inside linebackers while White is sidelined in Week 2.

Rotowire
White tallied 56 total tackles (31 solo), including 5.0 sacks, defended five passes and forced two fumbles across 17 games in 2024.

He tied Deatrich Wise for the most sacks on New England's defense and accumulated 45 total pressures on the season.

White (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
White played 42 defensive snaps and recorded three total tackles and one pass defended in the Patriots' Week 11 loss to the Rams. However, it now appears he picked up a knee injury in the process. White's participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play through the issue in Sunday's divisional matchup against the Dolphins.

Patriots' Keion White: Notches first career sack
Rotowire
White registered five tackles (three solo), including one sack, in Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Giants.
The rookie enjoyed arguably his best game in the NFL thus far, picking up his first sack as a pro and tallying a season-high five stops. The 24-year-old has worked in a rotational role throughout the campaign, and his 54 percent defensive snap count Sunday was his second highest of the season. White has flashed solid potential as a rookie and could see more opportunities down the stretch as the Patriots wrap up a disappointing campaign.

Patriots' Keion White: Able to play Sunday
Rotowire
White (concussion) isn't among the Patriots' inactives for Sunday's Week 8 clash with Miami.
White has been dealing with a concussion that forced him to miss Week 7 against Buffalo, but he has passed through league protocols and will be able to suit up Sunday. The rookie will provide a boost on the edge for the Patriots, though he's tallied just four tackles and no sacks through six games on the campaign.

Patriots' Keion White: Questionable Sunday
Rotowire
White (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against Miami, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
White missed New England's Week 7 win over Buffalo with a concussion, but he was able to log limited practice sessions both Thursday and Friday after recording a DNP on Wednesday. If the 24-year-old has to miss his second consecutive game, Sam Roberts will likely see an increase in snaps as a rotational defensive lineman.

Rotowire
White (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
White already sat out in Week 7, but he's apparently still working his way back from the concussion he sustained in Week 6 at Las Vegas. To avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend, White will likely need to clear concussion protocol and manage a full practice Friday.

Patriots' Keion White: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
White (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.
The 24-year-old was held out of practice all week after suffering a concussion during New England's Week 6 loss to the Raiders, so it's no surprise that he's been ruled out ahead of Sunday. With White missing time, expect Sam Roberts to see an uptick in snaps as a rotational defensive lineman for the Patriots.
