"The Patriots' defense might be more than undermanned when they try to slow down two-time MVP Lamar Jackson and the Ravens on Sunday night. Five defensive starters will either be ruled out or listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game, head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters on Friday. Linebacker Robert Spillane won't play due to a left foot/ankle injury. Edge rusher Harold Landry (knee), cornerback Marcus Jones (knee), cornerback Carlton Davis (hip), and defensive tackle Christian Barmore (knee),"
"Spillane, who leads the team in total tackles (97), didn't practice this week and was seen in the locker room wearing a boot. He was active for the Patriots' Week 15 loss to the Bills, but didn't play a snap as Vrabel later said he was only available on an emergency basis. Without Spillane, the Patriots had trouble slowing down the Bills' ground game last week."
Linebacker Robert Spillane has been ruled out for Sunday's game with a left foot/ankle injury, and several defensive starters are listed as questionable. Edge rusher Harold Landry (knee), cornerbacks Marcus Jones (knee) and Carlton Davis (hip), and defensive tackle Christian Barmore (knee) are all questionable for the matchup. Marcus Jones and Carlton Davis returned to practice and Jones indicated he plans to play. Milton Williams remains on injured reserve and will miss a fourth straight game. Jack Gibbens will replace Spillane and start alongside Christian Elliss. The Patriots allowed 168 rushing yards to the Bills without Spillane.
