Patriots' Dell Pettus: Placed on injured reserve
The Patriots placed Pettus (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Pettus exited the second quarter of Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers with an ankle injury. The injury appears to be significant and will require Pettus to miss at least four games on IR before being able to return to the active roster. With Craig Woodson (shoulder) also injured, the team will likely look to sign or elevate a player from the practice squad to fulfill the strong safety role in Week 3 against the Jaguars.

Patriots' Dell Pettus: Impresses during rookie campaign
Pettus recorded 34 total tackles (19 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and defended two passes over 17 games in 2024.
Pettus, an undrafted rookie from Troy, contributed on defense and special teams during his first season with New England, playing 554 total snaps (325 defensive and 229 on special teams). He started one game in place of Jabrill Peppers (hamstring) in 2024, recording nine total tackles on just 69 percent of the Patriots' defensive snaps. Pettus is under contract through the 2026 season, so he's expected to remain in New England next year and compete for a depth role in the team's secondary throughout the offseason.

Patriots' Dell Pettus: Logs nine tackles in first start
Pettus recorded nine tackles (six solo) in the Patriots' loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Pettus filled in for the inactive Jabrill Peppers (shoulder/personal) versus Miami and played 69 percent of the defensive snaps. The nine tackles were the first nine of Pettus' career after he went undrafted out of Troy. With Peppers facing legal troubles, Pettus could be in for an extended stay in the starting lineup.
