Rowe made 11 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 59-10 loss to the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
While there wasn't much to be thrilled about in the blowout loss to the Ravens, Rowe had a solid stat line against an explosive offense. However, the results weren't flattering, as Lamar Jackson lit up Miami's secondary for 324 yards and five touchdowns -- every score came in the first half. Rowe's work in coverage will need to be stronger in upcoming weeks for the Dolphins to stay in games.

Rowe started at cornerback and played 17 defensive snaps in Friday's preseason matchup with Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Rowe logged a tackle and recovered a fumble on the Buccaneers' second drive of the day. He appears to have recovered from the injury that kept him out of practice earlier in the month.

EDGE Analysis
The specifics surrounding Rowe's injury are unknown at this time, though it could impact his chances of winning a starting job at cornerback if it causes him to miss significant time.

Rowe, who agreed Tuesday with the Dolphins on a one-year contract, is expected to compete for a starting spot ahead of the 2019 season, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brian Flores, the Dolphins' new head coach and former defensive play caller for the Patriots, clearly believes in Rowe's potential after witnessing the cornerback in action during their time together in New England. Rather than any on-field limitations, Rowe's struggles with staying healthy prevented him from maxing out, as the 2015 second-round pick missed 27 out of 48 possible games. The Utah product should at least enter OTAs with a clean bill of health and will get the opportunity to vie for the top spot on the depth chart opposite All-Pro cornerback Xavien Howard. Minkah Fitzpatrick also looms as a threat for reps at corner, though the Dolphins could prefer to use the versatile defensive back at safety if Rowe plays up to expectations on the outside.

Rowe agreed to a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the Patriots on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rowe only suited up for four games with the Patriots in 2018, and he averaged 34 defensive snaps per outing. Those are respectable numbers, so he could climb the depth chart if he can stay healthy. But that will be the main factor, as Rowe essentially signed a prove-it deal.

The Patriots placed Rowe (groin) on injured reserve Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rowe injured his groin during Week 7's contest against the Bears and subsequently missed Monday's game in Buffalo. It now appears he'll miss the rest of the season. Look for Jonathan Jones and Jason McCourty to see increased workloads with Rowe sidelined.

Rowe (groin) was ruled out for Monday's game against the Bills, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rowe did not participate at practice this week so the designation is unsurprising as he continues to battle the groin issue sustained in Week 2. Jonathan Jones and Jason McCourty should see increased defensive snaps Monday at Buffalo.

Rowe (groin) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rowe has been nursing a groin injury since Week 2, and appears to have exacerbated the issue during Sunday's win over the Bears. The starting cornerback should be considered questionable for the Patriots' matchup against Buffalo on Monday, and Jonathan Jones would be in line to receive extra defensive snaps if Rowe were to miss any time.

Rowe (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Rowe suffered a groin injury of undisclosed severity during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against Chicago. Expect an update on the starting cornerback's health following the Week 7 contest if he's unable to return to the field.

Rowe is active for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Rowe will dress for the first time in four games, providing a huge boon to the Patriots' defense in a marquee matchup. The 26-year-old has seven tackles (six solo) and one pass defensed on the season.
