White (groin) is active for Sunday's game against Buffalo. White popped up on Friday's practice report as a limited participant due to a groin injury. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue for him as he will suit up for Sunday's contest. White has registered 51 tackles (27 solo), including 5.0 sacks, five pass defenses and two forced fumbles across 14 regular-season games.
White (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills. White was added to the injury report Friday, getting in a limited session, putting his status for Week 16 in jeopardy. White has started 12 of the team's 14 games this season and has logged 51 tackles (27 solo), including seven TFLs and 5.0 sacks, 15 QB hits, five batted passes and two forced fumbles. White's loss would be felt against Josh Allen if he's unable to play.
White (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. The starting defensive end suffered the injury during the Patriots' Week 11 loss to the Rams and was limited in practice all week leading up to this game. White has yet to miss a game this season, playing on at least 65 percent of the defensive snaps in each one. The 2023 second-round pick has 45 tackles (25 solo), including 5.0 sacks, five pass breakups and two forced fumbles in 2024.
White (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins. White has been nursing a knee injury since the Patriots' Week 11 loss to the Rams that held him to limited participation in practice throughout the week. However, he still has a chance to play in Sunday's divisional matchup. If White's knee injury is too much to overcome, expect Daniel Ekuale to see increased work with the Patriots' first-team defensive line.
White (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. White played 42 defensive snaps and recorded three total tackles and one pass defended in the Patriots' Week 11 loss to the Rams. However, it now appears he picked up a knee injury in the process. White's participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play through the issue in Sunday's divisional matchup against the Dolphins.
White (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's matchup with the Titans. White was dealing with a knee issue to open the week, forcing him to log back-to-back limited practices. The defensive lineman was able to practice in full Friday and he now appears to be a full go for Week 9 against Tennessee.
White (knee) was limited during Wednesday's practice session. White was able to play through an ankle injury this past Sunday against the Jets, and he finished that game with four solo tackles and a forced fumble. However, it appears he may have injured his knee during the win, which limited him in practice Wednesday. Given he's played through injuries for most of the regular season, White should be good to go against the Titans on Sunday as long as he continues to practice in at least a limited capacity this week.
White (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Jets. White suffered an ankle injury during the Patriots' Week 7 loss against the Jaguars. He was a DNP on Wednesday, but he finished the week with consecutive limited practices and he'll be available for Sunday's AFC East showdown. Through the first seven games of the regular season, White has logged 30 tackles (15 solo), including 4.0 sacks, three pass breakups and one forced fumble.
