Questionable for Week 16
Dugger (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills. Dugger has been playing through the ankle injury for weeks, and Sunday should be no different after he again practiced on a limited basis. Through 10 games this season, Dugger has 62 tackles (41 solo), including seven TFLs and 1.0 sacks, four pass breakups and one forced fumble.
Logs limited practice
Dugger (ankle/illness) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Dugger was sidelined for Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury and illness, but it appears he is progressing through both issues as he was able to practice in a limited capacity Thursday. A full practice Friday would give him a good shot at avoiding an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against Buffalo.
Dealing with ankle injury
Dugger did not practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Dugger was the leading tackler for the Patriots' in their 30-17 loss to the Cardinals this past Sunday, finishing with 10 tackles (six solo) while playing every single defensive tackle. However, it appears he picked up an ankle injury in the process, and he will have two more chances this week to practice ahead of Sunday's AFC East clash against the Bills. Over his last four outings, Dugger has logged 27 tackles (15 solo) and two pass defenses.
Leading tackler in loss
Dugger registered 10 tackles (six solo) during New England's loss Sunday versus the Cardinals. Dugger was one of the Patriots' few bright spots during Sunday's loss as he managed to record double-digit tackles for the second time this campaign. He has now racked up 62 tackles (41 solo), with 1.0 sacks, across 10 outings this season and will look to add to those totals during the team's Week 16 matchup versus the Bills.
Will suit up versus Arizona
Dugger (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Dugger will suit up for the fourth game in a row while continuing to deal with an ankle injury. Across nine appearances this season, the 28-year-old has totaled 52 tackles, one sack and four passes defended. He'll continue to suit up as the Patriots' top strong safety.
Questionable for Sunday
Dugger (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals. Dugger has been nursing an ankle injury for the past couple months, but he's been able to play in each of the Patriots' last three games, so he's likely to continue suiting up Sunday following a week of limited practice sessions. However, if the Lenoir-Rhyne product is sidelined in Week 15, Jaylinn Hawkins will likely start alongside Jabrill Peppers as New England's top safety duo.
Limited on Wednesday
Dugger (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Dugger has been dealing with the ankle injury for weeks but has played in three straight games, and New England is coming off its bye week. On the season, Dugger has 52 tackles (35 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four pass breakups and one forced fumble across nine appearances.
Fine day in close loss
Dugger recorded eight tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 25-24 loss versus the Colts. Dugger played all 58 of New England's defensive snaps in Week 13, and he came away with his highest tackle total since Week 7 at Jacksonville. He hasn't been quite as productive this season as he was last year, but he's done enough to place himself on the fringes of the IDP radar for the fantasy playoffs after the Patriots' bye in Week 14.
Will play Sunday vs. Indianapolis
Dugger (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts. Dugger will play through an ankle injury for a third straight week after missing three games earlier in the season due to that same issue. The fifth-year safety has logged 44 tackles (30 solo), including 1.0 sacks, three passes defensed and one forced fumble across eight regular-season games.
