The Patriots' Marte Mapu is not yet ready to return from an undisclosed injury, leading to expectations that he may open the season on injured reserve.
Head coach Jerod Mayo termed Mapu's recovery as 'week-to-week,' indicating the uncertainty surrounding his availability to participate in upcoming practices.
As a rookie, Mapu played in all games, and his versatility positioned him to compete for a significant hybrid role this season before his injury.
Due to a new NFL rule, Mapu could potentially be placed on injured reserve while still retaining the option for activation later in the season.
