Patriots' Kyle Dugger: In line to start Week 6
Dugger is slated to start at safety against the Saints on Sunday due to the absence of Jaylinn Hawkins (hamstring), Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Dugger played just one defensive snap and seven snaps on special teams during the Patriots' Week 5 win over the Bills. However, the 2020 second-rounder appears to be in line to work with the Patriots' starting defense in the absence of Hawkins. Dugger has 12 tackles (five solo) through five regular-season games this year.

Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Participating in training camp
Duggar (ankle) was a full partiicpant in New England's training camp session Wednesday, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Duggar has now fully recovered from ankle surgery he underwent in January after having been limited during voluntary OTAs. The 29-year-old will look to build upon his strong season during the 2024 campaign, when he recorded 81 tackles (55 solo), with 1.0 sacks, despite being limited to just 13 games.

Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Limited Wednesday
Dugger (ankle) was limited during Wednesday's voluntary OTAs, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Dugger underwent offseason ankle surgery, so it's no surprise he's a limited participant during New England's voluntary OTAs. The Lenoir-Rhyne product is one of the Patriots' most impactful defenders, recording 81 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, four passes defended and one forced fumble across 13 games in 2024. Once Dugger returns to full health, he's expected to serve as the team's top strong safety.

Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Undergoes surgery on ankle
Dugger played through a high-ankle sprain in 2024 and had surgery Jan. 9 to address the injury, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Dugger's ankle injury likely contributed to his decline in production, as he dipped from 109 tackles in 2023 to 81 in 2024. The strong safety projects to be back in a starting role in 2025, which will be the second season of Dugger's four-year, $58 million contract.

Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Records 81 tackles this season
Dugger finished the 2024 regular season with 81 tackles (55 solo), and 1.0 sacks in 13 games.
After logging a career-high 109 tackles in 2023, 2020 second-rounder wasn't able to hit the century mark this past season, while missing four games. Dugger signed a four-year, $58 million deal with the Patriots in April, so he'll be back to reprise his starting safety role with the franchise in 2025.

Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Questionable for Week 18

Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Nine tackles vs. Chargers
Dugger tallied nine tackles (six solo) during the Patriots' 40-7 loss to the Chargers on Saturday.
Dugger played a season-high 74 defensive snaps Saturday and finished as the Patriots' second-leading tackler behind Jahlani Tavai (10). Over his last six games, Dugger has registered 44 tackles (27 solo) and two pass defenses. The Patriots have given up at least 28 points in four of their last six games, but they'll look to finish the 2024 regular season off strong in Week 18 against a Bills team that is locked into the No. 2 seed of the AFC and will likely rest its starters.

Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Good to go
Dugger (ankle/quadriceps) is available for Saturday's contest against the Chargers,
Dugger has been playing through an ankle injury the previous five games, but he's clear to play again in Week 17. Barring any setbacks, he should take on his usual role at strong safety. However, he will again be without his fellow safety Jabrill Peppers (hamstring).

Patriots' Kyle Dugger: Listed as questionable for Week 17
Dugger (ankle/quadriceps) is questionable to play against the Chargers on Saturday after logging a limited practice Thursday.
Dugger has been able to play through an ankle injury during the Patriots' last five games, and over that span he accumulated 35 tackles (21 solo) and two pass defenses. Thursday's session was the only practice Dugger was able to participate in during Week 17 prep, so his official status for Saturday's game might not be known until New England releases its inactive players list about 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. kickoff. Jaylinn Hawkins and Marte Mapu would be in line for increased snaps at safety if either or both of Dugger and Jabrill Peppers (hamstring) were unable to play.
