Ekuale was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an elbow injury, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Ekuale appears to have sustained an elbow injury in the Patriots' Week 11 loss to the Rams, despite playing 40 total snaps (33 defensive and seven on special teams) and recording five total tackles. If the 29-year-old is unable to play through the issue in Sunday's divisional matchup against the Dolphins, expect Jeremiah Pharms to see additional work as one of the Patriots' top backup defensive ends.

Ekuale was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an elbow injury, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Ekuale appears to have sustained an elbow injury in the Patriots' Week 11 loss to the Rams, despite playing 40 total snaps (33 defensive and seven on special teams) and recording five total tackles. If the 29-year-old is unable to play through the issue in Sunday's divisional matchup against the Dolphins, expect Jeremiah Pharms to see additional work as one of the Patriots' top backup defensive ends.
Jennings (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. The 27-year-old linebacker from Alabama appears to have picked up a knee injury in the Week 11 loss to the Rams, despite playing 100 percent of New England's defensive snaps and recording two total tackles. Jennings' participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best indication of whether he can suit up in Week 12, when the Patriots travel to Miami.
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.
Dugger (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Dugger returned after to the field for Sunday's loss to the Rams after a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, recording three total tackles while playing 100 percent of the Patriots' defensive snaps. This suggests that Wednesday's limited session is likely precautionary, and the Lenoir-Rhyne product is expected to suit up for the Week 12 divisional matchup against the Dolphins unless he downgrades to no participation Thursday or Friday.
Roy (neck) did not practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Roy hasn't practiced or played since suffering the injury in Week 10 against the Bears. He'll likely have to get on the field in some capacity Thursday if he's going to have any chance of playing in Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Strange (knee) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Strange was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list earlier Wednesday, and this was his first practice session of any kind this season. So, it makes sense the team would take it slow with the 26-year-old. He'll have an opportunity to ramp up his activity level Thursday and Friday, before any determination for his status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins is likely given.
Wise (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Wise missed his first game of the season in New England's Week 11 loss to the Rams due to a foot injury, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he might be at risk of missing additional time. If the 30-year-old defensive lineman cannot upgrade to at least limited practice either Thursday or Friday, he'll likely miss his second consecutive game in the Week 12 matchup against the Dolphins.
Hooper (neck) was limited at practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Hooper was on the field for 39 of a possible 76 snaps on offense in this past Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams, but the tight end is now managing a neck issue ahead of this weekend's game against the Dolphins. Hooper now has two more opportunities to practice fully before the Patriots assign their Week 12 injury designations on Friday.
