- Farmer – Full participant, previously on injured reserve due to a hamstring issue
As the Patriots gear up for their showdown on February 8 at Levi’s Stadium, monitoring these injuries will be crucial for their success. The team’s depth will be tested, and their ability to adapt will be vital against a formidable opponent.
