CJ Dippre: Everything you need to know

Dippre (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Jets. Dippre was deemed a non-participant in practice Tuesday and Wednesday due to an illness, but he was able to log a full session Friday. That will be enough for the rookie tight end to be able to play Sunday. Dippre may not see the field, though, as he's yet to get into a game since he was signed to the active roster Nov. 17.

Dippre (illness) did not practice Wednesday. The undrafted free agent is working through an illness, but he'll have two more chances to log a full practice and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets. Dippre signed to the Patriots' active roster in mid-November but has yet to appear in a regular-season game.

The Patriots signed Dippre from the practice squad Monday. Dippre gives New England another healthy body at tight end with Austin Hooper still dealing with his concussion. Dippre has never appeared in a regular-season NFL contest.
