Westover (ankle) is active for Sunday's contest against the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

Westover was dealing with an ankle injury at practice throughout the week, but he'll now ultimately be able to give it a go in Week 18. The fullback hasn't logged a single carry this season, but his value is evident as a blocker in the team's rushing attack.

Westover (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Westover was able to overcome an illness to play in the Patriots' Week 17 win over the Jets, but it appears the second-year fullback picked up an ankle injury in the process. He'll have two more chances to return to practice in at least a limited capacity heading into Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dolphins.

Westover (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Westover popped up on Saturday's injury report due to an illness, but the second-year fullback has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. He has primarily been used as a backfield blocker and contributor on special teams this season, having logged just one target through 15 regular-season games.

Westover (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Westover was not listed on the week's injury report, indicating that the illness likely arose Saturday. The fullback for the Patriots' offense will likely be a game-time decision, with his ability to suit up likely directly correlating to his immune system's ability to heal. If Westover is unable to play, D'Ernest Johnson or CJ Dippre could be asked to fill the fullback role against the Jets.

Westover is now listed as a fullback on the Patriots' official depth chart, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Westover played fullback during the first two years of his collegiate career at Washington before changing to tight end as a junior. He remained at tight end during his rookie season in 2024, but he operated as a fullback during the offseason and will officially make the switch back to backfield blocker for the 2025 campaign. Westover appeared in three regular-season games for the Patriots in 2024 and mostly operated in a special-teams role.

New England signed Westover from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Chris Mason of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Westover signed with the Patriots' practice squad in early October after being waived by the Seahawks in late August with an injury settlement due to an undisclosed issue. The undrafted free agent out of Washington was elevated to the Patriots' active roster twice and played mostly on special teams. Assuming he's active for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bills, Westover will provide depth at the tight end position behind Hunter Henry (foot), Austin Hooper and Jaheim Bell.

Westover reverted to New England's practice squad Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Westover played eight snaps on special teams during Sunday's loss to the Cardinals but failed to record any stats. This was the third time this season he was elevated to play, and the Patriots will need to sign Westover to the active roster in order for him to see the field again.
