Longtime AFC East foes meet under the lights on Thursday as the New York Jets visit the New England Patriots. With both teams on a short week, the injury list is long—and meaningful. Here’s an up-to-the-minute rundown and how each injury could swing the matchup.

When & Where

  • Kickoff: Thursday, Nov. 13, 2025, 8:15 p.m. ET

  • Venue: Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, MA

Official Week 11 Practice Reports (Wednesday, Nov. 12)

New England Patriots

Did Not Participate:

  • TE Austin Hooper (concussion) OUT, LB Christian Elliss (hip) OUT

Limited:

  • WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) OUT, RB Terrell Jennings (knee), RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) OUT

Full:

  • DT Christian Barmore (back), C Garrett Bradbury (hip), K’Lavon Chaisson (ankle), S Jaylinn Hawkins (shoulder), RB TreVeyon Henderson (knee), CB Marcus Jones (elbow), LB Marte Mapu (neck), LB Jack Gibbens (hamstring), CB Charles Woods (foot)

Depth note: On Tuesday, New England also signed RB Jonathan Ward to the practice squad amid multiple RB injuries, a move that underscores backfield uncertainty on a short week.

New York Jets

Did Not Participate:

  • , CB Azareye’h Thomas (concussion) OUT, WR Garrett Wilson (knee) OUT

Limited:

  • Edge Will McDonald IV (quad), DL Harrison Phillips (foot), DL Braiden McGregor (shoulder)

Full / Improving:

  • RB Khalil Herbert (groin) full Tuesday / Wednesday after limited Monday; OL Xavier Newman (ankle) full; LB Kiko Mauigoa (concussion) full;

Context on Garrett Wilson: Reports indicate Wilson’s knee sprain could cost 3-4 weeks, though the Jets have not placed an official game status on him yet and head coach Aaron Glenn bristled at pressing questions Tuesday. For now, he remained DNP on Tuesday.

Injury Impact on Matchups

  1. Explosive plays without Garrett Wilson: If Wilson can’t go, the Jets must manufacture explosives via misdirection, shot plays off max-protect, or schemed touches (screens, jet action) to keep New England from condensing the field.

  2. Patriots RB rotation: Stevenson’s toe plus Jennings’ knee may force a hot-hand approach with Henderson and potentially practice-squad elevation insurance; early success running at a Wilson-less Jets front would set up manageable down-and-distance for Drake Maye.

  3. Third-down/red-zone targets: With Hooper sidelined at practice, New England may lean more on option routes from backs/slots and schemed rubs to compensate in the low red.

  4. Jets DL health: Harrison Phillips (foot) DNP is notable for run fits and interior push; if he’s out/limited, New England’s inside zone/duo runs gain efficiency. Will McDonald IV (quad) limited suggests pass-rush snap count could be monitored.

Bottom Line

In a short-week divisional game, availability at WR for the Jets and RB stability for the Patriots are the two swing variables. With Wilson out, New England can crowd the box and clamp down on underneath windows, forcing the Jets to win isolated matchups. Conversely, if the Patriots’ backs are close to full speed and the OL stays intact, New England’s offense should stay on schedule enough to control field position.
