Farmer (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Super Bowl LX on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer was questionable to play after being a full participant in practice every day this week, but the team has decided not to activate the rookie from injured reserve. The defensive end's hamstring issue already cut into his opportunity for meaningful experience at the NFL level, and the lack of any postseason experience means the young player may not be ready to be thrown into the fire in the biggest game of the season. The Patriots will enter Sunday's showdown with the Seahawks with Christian Barmore, Milton Williams, Leonard Taylor and Cory Durden at defensive end.

Farmer (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer will be ruled out of Sunday's game despite logging full participation in practice every day this week. The rookie defensive end may have a chance to return to the active roster for the Super Bowl if the Patriots can beat the Broncos this weekend. The main edge production in Sunday's contest will come from starters Christian Barmore and Milton Williams.

The Patriots designated Farmer (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer was placed on injured reserve in late December due to a hamstring injury he suffered in the Patriots' Week 16 win over the Ravens. Before sustaining the injury, the defensive end accumulated 15 tackles (seven solo) and one pass defensed through 13 games. The return of the fourth-round rookie would provide rotational depth at defensive end behind starters Christian Barmore and Milton Williams. If Farmer can string consecutive practice sessions together, he may be activated in time for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Broncos.

Farmer (ankle) was a full participant in New England's practice Wednesday.

Farmer (ankle) has been ruled out for the team's Thursday Night Football matchup against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer was limited in Monday's walkthrough and was unable to participate in either practice Tuesday or Wednesday. The 22-year-old defensive end has logged 20 to 40 percent of the Patriots' defensive snaps throughout the season so far. In his absence, Cory Durden could get a chance to see an increased snap count.

Farmer (ankle) is questionable to suit up against the Jets on Thursday Night Football.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer is dealing with an ankle issue and didn't practice Tuesday or Wednesday. He hasn't been ruled out for Thursday, but his outlook isn't great considering the back-to-back DNPs. The rookie defensive end has regularly logged 20-40 percent of New England's defensive snaps throughout the campaign.

Farmer (ankle) did not practice Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
After being deemed a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough, Farmer downgraded to DNP on Tuesday. That's not a promising sign ahead of Thursday's matchup versus the Jets, though the rookie defensive tackle could play if he's able to get back to practicing in some capacity Wednesday. Farmer has logged between 18 percent and 38 percent of New England's defensive snaps in each game so far this season.
