  • Full participant in practice

    Chaisson (ankle) was a full participant in New England's practice Friday.

    Analysis: Chaisson has been dealing with an ankle injury over the past couple of weeks but should continue to play through it during Monday's matchup versus the Giants. The 2020 first-round pick has compiled 18 tackles (10 solo), including 6.5 sacks, across 11 games and will look to add to his totals against New York.

  • Should be good to go for Week 12

    Chaisson (ankle) practiced in full Thursday.

    Analysis: Chaisson was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a lingering ankle injury. However, his return to full participation Thursday suggests he's not in danger of missing Sunday's tilt versus Cincinnati. Chaisson will be looking to build upon his 6.5 sacks -- which are already a career high -- versus the Bengals.

  • Still nursing ankle injury

    Chaisson (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Chaisson was able to overcome an ankle injury to play in the Patriots' Week 11 win over the Jets, when he tallied one tackle and one pass defense. The injury appears to be lingering, as he had his practice reps limited Wednesday, but he'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals. Chaisson is up to 17 tackles (10 solo), including 6.5 sacks, one pass defense, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over 10 regular-season…read more

  • Just one stop during TNF

    Chaisson posted one tackle and one pass defense during the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday.

    Analysis: Chaisson was cleared to play Thursday after working through an ankle issue during Week 11 prep. He has been limited to one tackle or less in four of his last six games, though he's also logged 4.0 sacks over that span.

  • Practicing fully

    Chaisson (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

    Analysis: Chaisson was estimated as limited Monday, but he appears to be ready to roll for Thursday night's divisional clash with the Jets. Chaisson has appeared in nine games this season and has racked up 16 tackles (10 solo), including eight TFLs and 6.5 sacks, 11 QB hits, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery as a disruptive presence on New England's defensive line.

  • Working through ankle injury

    Chaisson (ankle) was a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough practice.

    Analysis: Chaisson sacked Baker Mayfield during New England's 28-23 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday, but the former appears to have sustained an ankle injury during that game. Chaisson will have two more chances to increase his practice participation to avoid an injury tag ahead of Thursday's AFC East clash against the Jets.

  • Quiet in win over Browns

    Chaisson recorded one tackle (none solo) in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Chaisson is pacing for his best season in terms of rushing the passer, though he was quiet in Sunday's win. The Patriots logged only 1.0 sacks as a team, so Chaisson will look to get back on track in Week 9 against the Falcons.

  • Impresses in Week 7

    Chaisson tallied three total tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Chaisson found the end zone for the first time in his NFL career during Sunday's win, returning a Cam Ward fumble for a four-yard score in the third quarter. The veteran edge rusher has already tallied 4.5 sacks through his first six games in 2025, which is just a half-sack short of his previous best in a single season. He's expected to continue starting opposite Harold Landry to form New England's top pass-rush duo in the Week 8 matchup against the Browns.

  • Ready for Week 6

    Chaisson (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints.

    Analysis: The 2020 first-round pick from LSU upgraded from limited practice Thursday to a full session Friday, suggesting he's moved past his knee issue in time to face New Orleans on Sunday. Chaisson has appeared in four games for the Patriots this season, recording nine total tackles, including 2.5 sacks. Now healthy again, he's expected to start opposite Harold Landry to form New England's top edge-rushing duo in Week 6.

  • Limited to open week

    Chaisson (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: A knee injury prevented Chaisson from playing in the Patriots' Week 5 win over the Bills. The 2020 first-rounder is still limited by the injury, but a full practice Thursday or Friday would put him in position to play against the Saints on Sunday. Chaisson's return would likely mean less snaps at outside linebacker for Keion White (elbow) and Elijah Ponder.

  • Won't play in Week 5

    Chaisson (knee) has been downgraded and ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills.

    Analysis: Chaisson was initially listed as questionable due to a knee injury likely sustained in the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Panthers. Despite upgrading to limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday, the 2020 first-round pick won't be able to suit up Sunday. In his absence, Elijah Ponder is likely to start opposite Harold Landry for New England's defense.

  • Could play Sunday

    Chaisson (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: Chaisson opened the Patriots' week of practice with a DNP, but he upgraded to a limited session Thursday, suggesting he's trending toward playing in Sunday's affair. However, if the former first-round pick is unable to suit up in Week 5, Elijah Ponder is likely to see increased reps with the Patriots' first-team defense.

  • Logs limited practice Thursday

    Chaisson (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Chaisson is working through a knee injury that he likely picked up during the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Panthers. He managed to practice in a limited capacity Thursday after missing Wednesday's session, and Friday's injury report will provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's AFC East road bout against the Bills. Anfernee Jennings and Keion White would be the top candidates to start at edge rusher opposite Harold Landry if Chaisson is unable to play.

  • Misses practice with knee injury

    Chaisson (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Chaisson played through his knee injury Week 4 against the Panthers, though he handled a season-low 49 percent of defensive snaps. The standout pass-rusher nonetheless managed to record two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, bringing his totals to nine tackles (five solo), including 2.5 sacks, across four regular-season appearances this year. Chaisson logged a DNP-LP-FP practice slate before suiting up versus Carolina, and he'll attempt to gain clearance for Sunday's divisional matchup against…read more

  • Picks up another sack in win

    Chaisson recorded two tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Patriots' win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Chaisson came into the contest with a minor knee injury, but he played through the issue. However, Chaisson logged a season-low 49 percent of the snaps, though the blowout nature of this game certainly could have played a part in the reduced snaps. On the year, Chaisson has racked up nine tackles (five solo), including 2.5 sacks, and five QB hits on 68 percent of the snaps.

  • Good to go against Carolina

    Chaisson (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Chaisson logged a DNP-LP-FP practice log this past week, and he has progressed enough in his recovery from a knee injury to play Sunday. The 2020 first-rounder has logged seven tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks, through his first three games as a member of the Patriots.

  • Deemed questionable for Week 4

    Chaisson (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Chaisson has logged 76 percent of the defensive snaps through three games for the Patriots, recording seven tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks, and four QB hits. Keion White, Anfernee Jennings (hamstring) and Elijah Ponder would be next in line for snaps if Chaisson is unable to play.

  • No practice Wednesday

    Chaisson (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Chaisson played on 76 percent of defensive snaps in New England's Week 3 loss, so it's unclear when the injury occurred. He's had a solid start to the year, tallying seven total tackles with 1.5 sacks in three games. Chaisson will have two more chances to get on the practice field before a Week 4 matchup against the Panthers.

  • Agrees to deal with New England

    Chaisson signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Patriots on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Chaisson was signed by the Raiders in October after being released by the Panthers in early September, just before the start of the 2024 regular season. The 2020 first-round pick appeared in 15 regular-season games for Las Vegas last year and finished with career highs in combined tackles (32) and sacks (5.0) while logging his first interception in the NFL. Chaisson's addition bolsters the Patriots' pass rush and he is projected to serve in a rotation with Anfernee Jennings and Harold Landry.

  • Tallies career-high 5.0 sacks

    Chaisson racked up 32 tackles (19 solo), including 5.0 sacks, across 15 regular-season games with the Raiders in 2024. He also had two passes defensed, one interception and one forced fumble.

    Analysis: Chaisson produced career-high numbers across the board for Las Vegas in 2024, while playing 479 defensive snaps, his largest workload since his rookie season with Jacksonville back in 2020. He's set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

  • Logs sack in second straight week

    Chaisson tallied three solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble during Sunday's 25-10 win over New Orleans.

    Analysis: Chaisson logged his fifth sack of the season Sunday, when he took down Spencer Rattler for a nine-yard loss midway through the fourth quarter. Chaisson has logged 4.0 sacks over his last five games, which is tied for third most in the NFL in that span. Chaisson will look to finish the 2024 season on a strong note against the Chargers in Week 18.

  • First career INT in Week 14

    Chaisson finished Sunday's 28-13 loss to Tampa Bay with four tackles (three solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one interception.

    Analysis: Chaisson picked off a Baker Mayfield pass intended for Jalen McMillan on the third play of the second quarter, but the Raiders gave the ball back on the next play when Aidan O'Connell fumbled the ball. Chaisson also combined on a sack with Tre'von Moehrig late in the third quarter which forced the Buccaneers to punt on the next play. In the four regular-season games since the Raiders' Week 10 bye, Chaisson has logged eight tackles (five solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one interception.

  • Gets to QB in loss

    Chaisson recorded three tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Friday's 19-17 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: The defensive end continued to play a rotational role for the Raiders, but he made the most of his 23 snaps. Chaisson has 17 total tackles (10 solo), including 2.5 sacks, on the year. With Maxx Crosby and Charles Snowden still healthy, Chaisson's role is unlikely to change anytime soon.

  • Out in Carolina

    The Panthers released Chaisson on Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Chaisson linked up with Carolina in March after spending the first four years of his career in Jacksonville, but the Panthers have now decided to move in another direction. The 2020 first-round pick appeared in 17 regular-season games with the Jaguars last season, recording 13 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and one pass defended. Either DJ Johnson or Eku Leota figure to start opposite Jadeveon Clowney in Carolina's pass rush unit after Chaisson's release.

  • Inks deal with Carolina

    The Panthers signed Chaisson to a one-year deal worth up to $5 million Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: After spending the first four years of his career with the Jaguars, the 2020 first-round pick is now headed to Carolina. Chaisson appeared in 26 games (no starts) over the past two seasons, recording 23 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, while also defending one pass. It's safe to say that the 24-year-old underwhelmed in Jacksonville, but he could very well have the chance to compete for a starting job in the Panthers' linebacker corps this offseason.

  • Fifth-year option declined

    The Jaguars elected to decline Chaisson's fifth-year option on his rookie contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Chaisson will now enter a contract year in his fourth season with the Jaguars and will have a chance to cash in during free agency next offseason if he performs well. The 23-year-old appeared in only nine games with Jacksonville in 2022 due to a knee injury, but he was able to produce 10 tackles, including a sack, over 213 snaps between defense and special teams.

  • Back from IR

    Jacksonville activated Chaisson (knee) from its injured reserve list Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at Tennessee, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: After missing the Jaguars' last seven games with a knee injury he sustained in Week 5 versus Houston, Chaisson appears poised to return in Week 14. The 2020 first-rounder figures to fill a rotational role on the edge for the remainder of the season.

  • Designated to return from IR

    Jacksonville designated Chaisson (knee) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: Chaisson has been on IR since Oct. 10 due to a meniscus injury, but with the move, Jacksonville has opened a 21-day window for him to be added to the active roster. However, if the third-year linebacker is not activated within that period, he'll revert to IR for the remainder of the campaign.

  • Headed for IR

    Chaisson sustained a meniscus injury during Sunday's 13-6 loss versus Houston and will be placed on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The timeline for Chaisson's return still isn't totally clear, but he'll have to miss at least the Jaguars' next four games as he recovers. Until Chaisson is ready to play again, De'Shaan Dixon could see some rotational reps behind Travon Walker and Josh Allen.

  • Exits Sunday

    Chaisson (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Texans, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

    Analysis: Chaisson missed last week's loss to the Eagles with an ankle issue and was listed as questionable for this Week 5 contest, though he appears to have picked up a separate knee injury during the first half. The third-year linebacker played only 27 defensive snaps over the first three games of the season, but his absence will leave Jacksonville short-handed with fellow outside linebackers Jordan Smith (knee) and De'Shaan Dixon (coach's decision) both out Sunday.

  • Will play Sunday

    Chaisson is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Analysis: Chaisson was limited at each practice ahead of Week 5 due to an ankle injury and was listed as questionable. However, he'll return to action Sunday following a one-game absence. Through his first three appearances, the 2020 first-round pick played primarily on special teams, recording three tackles across 27 defensive snaps.

  • Out Week 4

    The Jaguars have downgraded Chaisson (ankle) to out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Demetrius Harvey of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: Chaisson's absence will leave the team thin for depth at outside linebacker. De'Shaan Dixon will be the primary backup available behind Josh Allen and No. 1 overall pick Travon Walker.

  • Back from COVID list

    Chaisson (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Chaisson missed the final two games of the season after testing positive for the virus. The 2020 first-round pick had a disappointing season with 31 tackles (20 solo) and only one sack in 15 games. He'll enter his third season needing a significant improvement in order to live up to his draft position.

  • Shifts to COVID list

    Jacksonville placed Chaisson on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after he tested positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Chaisson played a season-high 53 percent of the defensive snaps Sunday versus the Jets, but he's now sidelined on the COVID list. Fellow outside linebackers Josh Allen (illness), Lerentee McCray (illness) and Jordan Smith (illness) are also following the NFL's COVID-19 protocols.

  • Primed for starting role

    Chaisson (illness) registered a quarterback hit in 29 defensive snaps during Saturday's preseason loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: The 2020 first-round pick missed June minicamp after testing positive for COVID-19, but he was ready for the start of training camp and is poised to start as an edge rusher for Jacksonville. Chaisson played in every game as a rookie last season but had a quiet campaign with 19 total tackles and one sack.

  • Absent from minicamp

    Chaisson was not able to attend minicamp after testing positive for COVID-19, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Analysis: Chaisson is expected to return to his role as a starting linebacker for the Jags in 2021, but he'll need to pass through the league's COVID protocols before joining the rest of his teammates in preparation for the upcoming campaign.

    Chaisson is listed as a starter for Sunday's game against the Texans, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

  • Returns to practice

    Chaisson (hamstring) is slated to participate in Thursday's practice, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Analysis: Chaisson was limited to side work earlier this month due to a hamstring issue, but it looks as though he's already managed to return to full health. The rookie first-round pick should see plenty of chances to handle key snaps for Jacksonville's pass rush early in his career, provided he can remain on the field.

  • Dealing with injury

    Chaisson was forced to work out on the side during Wednesday's practice session due to a hamstring injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The good news for Chaisson and the team is that he's dealing with what's believed to be a minor injury, which isn't expected to force him to miss an extended period of time. Once fully healthy, the 20th overall pick in April's draft is expected to bolster the Jacksonville pass rush, potentially forming a dangerous pass-rushing duo with 2019 first-round pick Josh Allen.
