"There are a few irreplaceable players on New England's current roster - like quarterback Drake Maye, left tackle Will Campbell and cornerback Christian Gonzalez - and Landry is near the top of that list. He's been a mainstay on the field in Vrabel's defense, already logging 300 snaps (fourth-most on the team, per Pro Football Focus); he leads the Patriots in both QB pressures (25) and sacks (4.5) through six games."
"It's important for the Patriots to keep their starting edge rushers healthy, because an injury to Landry or Chaisson would create a disastrous situation. It's been rough sledding for third-year pro Keion White, who's tallied just three total pressures and no sacks in 63 pass-rush snaps, per PFF. That's a troubling sign for a second-round pick who shared the team lead in sacks with five last year."
Harold Landry III missed back-to-back practices early in Week 7 prep but returned for a full session and is officially questionable with an ankle injury, appearing likely to play Sunday. Landry leads the Patriots in QB pressures (25) and sacks (4.5) through six games and has logged 300 snaps in Vrabel's defense. K'Lavon Chaisson has been solid opposite Landry, but New England lacks depth on the edge. Keion White has produced minimal pressures and no sacks, Anfernee Jennings has been used sparingly, and rookie Elijah Ponder has flashed in limited action. The team could pursue external help before the trade deadline.
