Jahlani Tavai: Breaking News

Out in New England

Tavai (undisclosed) was released by the Patriots with a failed physical designation Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log. The veteran linebacker from Hawaii appeared in 12 regular-season games for the Patriots last season, recording 42 total tackles and one forced fumble across 445 total snaps (230 on defense, 215 on special teams). Once Tavai proves he's returned to full health, he's expected to find work with a team in need of inside linebacker depth for the 2026 season.

Ready for Monday

Tavai (personal) has no injury designation ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Giants. The Hawaii product practiced in full Friday and is ready to return after missing the Patriots' Week 12 win over the Bengals due to a personal issue. Expect Tavai to operate as one of New England's reserve inside linebackers during Monday night's contest.

Unavailable for Week 12

Tavai (personal) won't play Sunday against the Bengals, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Tavai's next chance to play will come Dec. 1 against the Giants. The rotational linebacker has 19 tackles (10 solo) in seven appearances this season.
