  • Great in loss

    Dugger recorded 15 tackles (12 solo), one tackle for loss and one hit on the quarterback during Sunday's 38-3 loss to Dallas.

    Analysis: Dugger now leads New England in tackles through four weeks, as he doubled his season total this past Sunday. The 27-year-old will have an opportunity to continue making big plays for a defense that's in need of playmaker, as the Patriots saw both Matthew Judon and Christian Gonzalez go down with injuries this weekend.

    Dugger finished the 2022 season with 78 tackles (50 solo), one sack, three interceptions, and a fumble recovery while scoring three touchdowns in 15 games.

    Analysis: Dugger had the best season of his young career despite missing two games with an ankle injury, as he led the NFL with three defensive touchdowns. The 26-year-old also finished third on the team in interceptions.

    Analysis: Dugger missed Week 8 against the Jets, but he's back in action for Week 9. His return should be a boost to the team's secondary.

  • Listed as questionable

    Dugger (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Dugger missed last week's game against the Jets due to an ankle injury and was limited at practice all week ahead of Sunday's Week 9 matchup. If he's unavailable for a second consecutive week, Jabrill Peppers and Joshuah Bledsoe would be in line for increased playing time.

  • Logs limited practice Wednesday

    Dugger (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Dugger was sidelined for Week 8 due to an ankle injury he suffered a week prior. His return to practice, albeit in a limited fashion, is encouraging, but he'll likely have to log at least one full practice if he wants to avoid an injury designation ahead of Week 9.

  • Won't play at Jets

    Dugger (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game at the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Dugger will need to sit out at least one full game as he recovers from an ankle injury that forced him out of New England's loss versus Chicago in Week 7 early. Adrian Phillips (shoulder) and Jabrill Peppers should see more work in Dugger's absence.

  • Deemed questionable for Sunday

    Dugger (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: Dugger suffered an ankle injury during Monday's loss to the Bears and opened Week 8 prep with back-to-back DNPs. However, the third-year defensive back returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, giving himself a chance to suit up Sunday. However, if Dugger is ultimately sidelined, expect Jabrill Peppers to garner an increased role against the Jets.

  • Doesn't participate Wednesday

    Dugger (ankle) is listed as a non-participant during Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Dugger picked up the ankle injury during Monday's loss to the Bears and will remain sidelined to start Week 8 prep. He'll have two more opportunities to practice before New England needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, but if he's ultimately sidelined, expect Jabrill Peppers to see an increased role in the Patriots' secondary.

    Dugger (knee) is active Sunday against the Packers, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

  • Labeled as questionable for Sunday

    Dugger (knee) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Packers.

    Analysis: Dugger suffered a knee injury during Week 2 and was held out of practices last week before logging a limited session Friday. However, he was still ruled out for the team's loss to the Ravens and has remained limited at practices ahead of Week 4. If Dugger is sidelined for a second straight game, Adrian Phillips would likely draw another start at safety.

  • Out for Sunday

    Dugger (knee) will not play Sunday against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Dugger was able to log a limited practice Friday after not practicing earlier in the week. However, that wasn't enough to tip the scales in Dugger's favor and the third-year-pro will miss Sunday's contest. In his absence, Adrian Phillips will likely draw the start at strong safety.

  • Officially questionable

    The Patriots have listed Dugger (knee) as questionable for Friday's matchup with the Ravens.

    Analysis: Dugger was a non-participant at practice for consecutive days to start the week before practicing in limited fashion Friday. He is seemingly a true game-time decision Sunday, so his status is unlikely to be determined until he tests things out before kickoff.

  • Logs DNP

    Dugger (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Dugger left Sunday's win over the Steelers early and was unable to return. He is one of multiple Patriots safeties currently nursing injuries.

    Dugger (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Dugger appears to have picked up an unspecified knee injury at some point during New England's contest against Pittsburgh.

  • Makes strides in coverage

    Dugger finished the 2021 regular season with 92 tackles and four interceptions in 15 games.

    Analysis: The 2020 second-rounder produced at a rate that led to a degree of fantasy utility and is slated to remain a key cog in the Patriots' secondary next season. Per Paul Perillo of the team's official site Dugger, who is signed through 2023, made strides in coverage in his second year (as a pro), but he still has some room for growth in his game in terms of overall consistency.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old did not play in Week 18 against the Jets after being unavailable for practice all week with a hand injury. Dugger's limited estimation bodes well for his chances to play Saturday versus Bills, though his status the rest of the week will give a clearer indication.

  • Won't play in Week 18

    Dugger (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

  • Racks up seven stops

    Dugger had seven solo tackles during the Patriots' 25-0 win over the Falcons on Thursday.

    Analysis: Dugger continues to pile up stops and has been rewarded with more playing time, as he's drawn snap shares in excess of 70 percent in each of the last three contests. The Patriots have made more frequent use of three-safety personnel in recent weeks, as all of Dugger, Adrian Phillips and Devin McCourty have all held steady roles on defense of late.

  • Set to face Falcons

    Dugger (ankle) is active for Thursday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Dugger was a limited practice participant all week, but that will be enough for him to suit up for the Patriots' Week 11 matchup. He's been a key member of the secondary throughout the season by racking up 64 total tackles, and he has also recorded three interceptions in his last five contests.

    Analysis: Dugger seems to have picked up the issue in the Patriots' Week 10 win over Cleveland. He was estimated as limited Monday and officially limited Tuesday. If the 25-year-old is unable to go Thursday night against the Falcons, Justin Bethel could be in line for more work.

  • Records six tackles in win

    Dugger notched six tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: After registering 27 tackles and two interceptions across his previous three contests, Dugger's performance Sunday was lackluster. Nevertheless, the 25-year-old safety has now recorded at least six tackles in six of eight games this season, which provides the second-year pro a solid fantasy floor. Dugger remains worth IDP consideration, particularly in deeper leagues.

    Analysis: Dugger was a limited participant at practice throughout the week and will likely be a game-time decision Sunday. The 25-year-old safety has racked up 25 tackles and one interception over the last three games, so his absence would be a big blow for New England's defense.

    Analysis: Dugger has come on as a more than solid IDP asset as of late, with 25 tackles over the last three weeks. The second year pro will look to keep up his momentum against the Jets and Zach Wilson, who has at least one turnover in each of his NFL starts.

    Analysis: Dugger had five solo and five assisted tackles, leading the Patriots in both categories.

    The Patriots have listed Dugger (hamstring) as questionable for Sunday's matchup with Tampa Bay, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Dugger practiced in limited fashion for consecutive days to close out the week while nursing a hamstring issue. His status for Week 4 will presumably depend on how he is feeling closer to kickoff. Adrian Phillips would be the prime candidate to replace him at strong safety should he ultimately be unable to go.

  • Can't participate Thursday

    Dugger (toe) did not participate during Thursday's practice session.

    Analysis: Dugger dealt with an ankle issue that held him out Weeks 7 and 8, but he's otherwise avoided missing game time during his rookie campaign out of Lenoir-Rhyne. The No. 37 overall choice from April's draft did not have an injury designation to kick off the practice week, but now an issue has surfaced as New England readies for a Week 12 matchup against Arizona. Dugger has collected his first two NFL starts during the Patriots' past two games, logging 18 combined tackles on 102 defensive snaps…read more

  • Good to go Monday

    Dugger (ankle) is active for Monday's game versus the Jets.

    Analysis: The rookie is returning to duty after two weeks on the sidelines. Dugger logged a 42 percent snap share, or higher, in three of the four games before his injury, and a similar role can be expected in this primetime matchup. He may return kicks as well because J.J. Taylor (illness) is out.

  • Maintains limited participation

    Dugger (ankle) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: This was Dugger's second limited session of the week. He was limited throughout all of last week but was ultimately inactive against the Bills, so this isn't necessarily an indication of his status. If he's forced to sit out again, J.J. Taylor (illness) should slot in at kick returner if healthy, while Terrence Brooks sees an uptick in snaps at safety.

  • Set to sit again

    Dugger (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Bills.

    Analysis: Dugger will miss a second straight game. He's been a solid defensive player when healthy, handling a consistent snap count and posting 16 tackles over the last four games. The rookie second-rounder works as a kick returner, too, but J.J. Taylor should serve in that role for the time being.

  • Out with ankle injury

    Dugger (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports.

    Analysis: The rookie second-round pick has played a rotational role in the second this year and could have been a factor in coverage against George Kittle, but the Patriots will have to utilize their other options. Terrence Brooks could see increased work with Duggar sidelined Week 7.

  • Six tackles against Seahawks

    Dugger recorded six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 35-30 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: With the Seahawks airing it out early and often, Dugger was on the field a lot, increasing his defensive snap share from 18-percent in Week 1 to 54-percent in Week 2. He sits behind Adrian Phillips and Devin McCourty on the safety depth chart, but could continue seeing usage as a gadget player depending on the Patriots' defensive gameplan. He will look to build on his solid performance in Week 3 against the Raiders.
