Chung (forearm) was limited to non-contact drills Thursday, Mark Daniels of the Providence Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chung is coming off a broken arm suffered during the Super Bowl. A timetable for his full recovery remains undisclosed, but Chung is expected to be good to go for the start of the 2019 season. The Patriots have little reason to rush the 11-year veteran's return to practice.

Chung (forearm) wasn't seen at Wednesday's minicamp, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chung broke his arm during the Super Bowl, and that seems to be the most likely reason for his absence from mandatory minicamp. The 31-year-old was great for the Patriots last season, making 84 tackles and one interception in 15 games during the regular season. It's unclear when Chung will make his return to the practice field this offseason.

Chung (forearm) signed a one-year contract extension with the Patriots on Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports. This deal will goes through the 2021 season.
EDGE Analysis
Chung has been a top contributor with the Patriots over the last five years working as the top strong safety and recording at least 84 tackles in each season. He suffered a broken forearm during the Super Bowl in February and underwent two surgeries, but it isn't expected to affect him during the 2019 season.

Chung will have surgery Thursday on his broken forearm, followed by a procedure three weeks later to clean up a shoulder injury, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chung reportedly played through his shoulder injury for most of the 2018 campaign, missing just one game (due to a concussion) while often handling an every-down role. He then suffered a broken forearm during the Super Bowl, which opened up a spot for Duron Harmon at strong safety. Chung isn't expected to participate in OTAs or minicamp, but he should be back for the start of training camp to prepare for his age-32 season. He's under contract through 2020 on a team-friendly extension for two years and $7.8 million.

EDGE Analysis
As expected, Chung suffered a broken arm when he got caught in between two other players in the third quarter Sunday. Chung will be out for an extended period of time, but he should be good to go at some point in the summer assuming all goes well in his recovery.

Chung was carted off the field Sunday after suffering a right arm injury, Lindsay Jones of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chung's arm got caught between two players and appeared to break as a result. Nothing has been confirmed, but given that Chung was carted off wearing an air cast, chances are the safety suffered a fracture and will be done for the night. Expect an update to come after Chung goes under further evaluation.

Chung finished up the 2018 regular season with 84 tackles and a pick in 15 games.
EDGE Analysis
Chung has logged between 84 and 91 tackles in each of his last five seasons with the Patriots, a level of consistently that puts him on the IDP radar. The 31-year-old is under contract with New England through the 2020 season, which paves the way for Chung to reprise his starting safety role in 2019.

Chung tallied five tackles during Sunday's loss to the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Chung -- who's worn a shoulder stabilizer in each of the past two games, according to Zack Cox of NESN.com -- doesn't seem to be playing at 100 percent health. To make matters worse, the safety appeared to aggravate the injury while making a tackle in the fourth quarter. It seems likely that Chung will resurface on this week's injury report ahead of New England's Week 16 matchup with Buffalo.

Chung (shoulder) won't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Miami, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chung began the week as a limited participant but faced no limitations Friday to get himself removed from the injury report. The 31-year-old should assume his usual starting role at safety against the Dolphins.
