Patriots vs. Jets Thursday injury report: No changes to the projection

The New England Patriots spent Christmas Day away from the practice fields.

But the same eight would have been non-participants in Foxborough based on the team’s projection. That sidelined group includes wide receivers Mack Hollins and Kayshon Boutte, tight end C.J. Dippre, guard Jared Wilson, defensive tackle Khyris Tonga, linebackers Harold Landry III and Robert Spillane, as well as cornerback Carlton Davis III.

Here’s the second injury report leading up to Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET visit with the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.

DID NOT PARTICIPATE

Patriots

• WR Mack Hollins (abdomen)
• WR Kayshon Boutte (concussion protocol)
• TE C.J. Dippre (illness)
• G Jared Wilson (concussion protocol)
• DT Khyiris Tonga (foot)
• LB Harold Landry III (knee)
• LB Robert Spillane (ankle)
• CB Carlton Davis III (illness)

Jets

• TE Mason Taylor (neck)
• DT Jay Tufele (foot)
• DE Will McDonald IV (knee)
• LB Kiko Mauigoa (neck)

Friday’s practice will provide a clearer picture for the Patriots. As will the game designations that follow. But the early forecast points toward Boutte and Wilson not being available for the AFC East rematch in East Rutherford while working through the NFL’s concussion protocol. The starting left guard played all 74 snaps in last weekend’s matchup M&T Bank Stadium, while starting wide receiver landed hard in the fourth quarter after a no-call for defensive pass interference.

On the other side of the ball, Tonga suffered a foot injury during the 28-24 win. The three-phase defensive tackle appears in line to miss time. And more time is in line to be missed by Spillane. The linebacker, captain and tackle leader has not taken the field for back-to-back Sundays because of an ankle injury.

LIMITED PARTICIPATION

Patriots

• RB TreVeyon Henderson (concussion protocol)
• WR DeMario Douglas (hamstring)
• OT Morgan Moses (knee)
• OT Thayer Munford Jr. (knee)
• DT Milton Williams (ankle — IR return)
• LB Anfernee Jennings (ankle)
• CB Charles Woods (foot)

Jets

• QB Tyrod Taylor (knee)
• DT Harrison Phillips (knee)

Further along in the protocol, Christmas Eve saw Henderson practice with a red non-contact jersey. The reigning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month had been downgraded to out after halftime last weekend, finishing with a dozen scrimmage yards. He stands among an estimated seven limited participants for New England. That tally remains unchanged.

Douglas, Moses, Munford, Jennings and Woods all joined the injury report after an AFC playoff berth was clinched. But a 21-day window to return from injured reserve recently opened, as well.

FULL PARTICIPATION

Patriots

• No players listed

Jets

• DE Eric Watts (concussion protocol)

No Patriots managing ailments would have been upgraded to full participation on Thursday, while one Jet would have continued to that degree.
