Langi (knee) has been participating in offseason workouts after ending the 2021 campaign on injured reserve, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Langi appeared in seven games for the Patriots last season, playing mostly on special teams, before a knee injury landed him on injured reserve in October. He eventually returned to practice but was never activated to the 53-man roster. Now healthy, he'll look to carve out a role in New England's linebacking corps, which lost Dont'a Hightower, Jamie Collins and Kyle Van Noy this offseason.

Langi (knee) signed a one-year extension with the Patriots on Friday, Zack Cox of NESN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Langi appeared in seven games for the Patriots this season, playing mostly on special teams, before a knee injury landed him on injured reserve in October. He eventually returned to practice but was never activated to the 53-man roster. He was set to become a free agent this offseason but will be back to compete for a roster spot next year. It's unclear what New England's linebacker corps will look like next season, as Dont'a Hightower, Ja'Whaun Bentley and Jamie Collins are all on expiring contracts.

Langi (knee) was not activated from injured reserve before his 21-day window expired, meaning he is out for the season, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Langi had been expected to return but team needs elsewhere on the roster apparently trumped that possibility. He'll finish his fourth NFL season having recorded three tackles (one solo) in seven games in a predominantly special-teams role.

The Patriots activated Langi (undisclosed/knee) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Langi had been on injured reserve since Oct. 26 but returned to practice in early December. He would have been activated from IR if he hadn't been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list last week, so he should be available for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Langi (knee) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Langi, who was already on injured reserve with a knee injury, was one of four Patriots players to land in the NFL's health and safety protocols Monday. The 29-year-old linebacker has been sidelined since Week 7 after spraining his MCL, but he was designated to return at the beginning of December. It's unclear how his stint on the COVID list will impact his ability to join the active roster before his 21-day window expires.

Langi (knee) returned to practice Thursday, opening the three-week window for him to come off IR, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Langi has been sidelined since spraining his MCL in Week 7. He played primarily on special teams prior to being injured. Langi could suit up as soon as Monday in Buffalo, but he'll first need to be removed from IR in order to do so.

Langi (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Langi was diagnosed with a sprained MCL after he suffered an injury in Sunday's win over the Jets. He will now be forced to miss at least three games, leaving a void in the Patriots' special teams unit.

Langi has been diagnosed with a sprained MCL after exiting Sunday's win over the Jets, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old has played mainly on special teams to begin the season, and it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action. Jahlani Tavai and Josh Uche could see a slight uptick in playing time while Langi is sidelined.

Langi (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Langi's injury seems to be more serious than expected, and as a result, he won't be returning to action. His next chance to return will be next week in a tough matchup at the Chargers, and his absence could lead to more playing time for names such as Jahlani Tavai, Josh Uche or even Brandon King.

Langi is questionable to return Sunday against the Jets due to a knee injury.

EDGE Analysis

If Langi can't return to the action, it would mean additional snaps are likely for Jahlani Tavai, Josh Uche or even Brandon King.
