Judon (biceps) is back to full health and expected to be at the Patriots' manditory minicamp in June, Karen Guregian of masslive.com reports. Judon tore his biceps early in the 2023 season and subsequently underwent season ending surgery. It appears his recovery has gone well, and he will be ready to participate in New England's offseason preparation. Barring any setbacks with his health, he is expected to start at outside linebacker opposite Josh Uche this season.

Patriots Injury Report
Judon (biceps) is back to full health and expected to be at the Patriots' manditory minicamp in June, Karen Guregian of masslive.com reports. Judon tore his biceps early in the 2023 season and subsequently underwent season ending surgery. It appears his recovery has gone well, and he will be ready to participate in New England's offseason preparation. Barring any setbacks with his health, he is expected to start at outside linebacker opposite Josh Uche this season.
Gonzalez (shoulder) practiced during OTAs on Monday, Mike Dussault of the Patriots' official site reports. Gonzalez suffered a season-ending torn labrum Week 4 against the Cowboys last season and was originally uncertain for OTAs. However, the second-year-pro appeared to be a full participant according to Dussault, which is good news for New England's secondary.
Lowe (head) practiced Tuesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Lowe exited New England's season finale against the Jets due to a head injury, but the third-year pro appears to have put the injury in the rearview mirror. A sixth-round selection in 2022, Lowe saw reps ahead of 2024 third-round selection, Caedan Wallace.
Bolden (concussion) will take part in OTAs this week, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports. Bolden missed the entirety of his rookie season due to a concussion that placed him on IR. The Jackson State product is now healthy though, and will be competing against several other names for a roster spot behind Christian Gonzalez, Jonathan Jones and Marcus Jones at cornerback.
Jones (shoulder) is ready to get back on the field during OTAs, Danny Jaillet of USA Today reports. Jones suffered a torn labrum in Week 2 last season and then spent the rest of the 2023 campaign on injured reserve. His ability to return to the field, and be ready for the 2024 campaign is great news for New England, who dealt with multiple injuries to key pieces of their secondary last year.
Strange (knee) is expected to miss the start of the regular season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Strange's knee injury could keep him sidelined until the middle of the 2024 regular season, per Rapoport. The starting guard missed New England's first day of OTAs while continuing to rehab from the knee issue he sustained Week 15 versus the Chiefs in 2023, with coach Jerod Mayo calling him "month-to-month." Per Chad Graff of The Athletic, the Patriots started Sidy Sow and Nick Leverett at guard to kick off OTAs.
Strange (knee) was labeled as "month to month" in his recovery process by New England coach Jerod Mayo on Monday. The offensive guard suffered the knee injury during a Week 15 loss to the Chiefs in 2023. Strange then missed the Patriots' final three games of the season. The 2022 first-round pick started all 17 regular-season games as a rookie and all 10 that he played in last season.
Smith-Schuster said Monday at the start of OTAs that he never reached 100 percent health during the 2023 season, Chris Mason of The Springfield Republican reports. Smith-Schuster said the last 12 months have made a "big difference," and he estimated that last offseason he was only at 60 percent health due to a lingering knee injury. Across 11 games in 2023, he was an afterthought in New England's offense, finishing with just a 29-260-1 receiving line despite little established competition at the position. If truly healthier and now able to move better, Smith-Schuster could earn more consistent targets from Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye, though the Patriots' wide receiver corps has gotten more crowded with the additions of rookies Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker, plus free-agent addition K.J. Osborn.
