Dugger (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Las Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Dugger was limited at practice Thursday and Friday after apparently sustaining a foot injury at practice during the week, so it seems like there's a 50-50 chance he'll play in Week 6. If he can't go, Adrian Phillips could draw the start at strong safety Sunday.

Dugger (foot) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dugger was not listed on New England's injury report Wednesday, so he presumably sustained the foot injury at practice during the week. He'll likely need to log a full practice Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Dugger recorded 15 tackles (12 solo), one tackle for loss and one hit on the quarterback during Sunday's 38-3 loss to Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Dugger now leads New England in tackles through four weeks, as he doubled his season total this past Sunday. The 27-year-old will have an opportunity to continue making big plays for a defense that's in need of playmaker, as the Patriots saw both Matthew Judon and Christian Gonzalez go down with injuries this weekend.

Dugger finished the 2022 season with 78 tackles (50 solo), one sack, three interceptions, and a fumble recovery while scoring three touchdowns in 15 games.
EDGE Analysis
Dugger had the best season of his young career despite missing two games with an ankle injury, as he led the NFL with three defensive touchdowns. The 26-year-old also finished third on the team in interceptions. With just one more season left on his contract, the 2020 second-round pick will look to continue his production from this season in order to get a big pay day.

Dugger recorded five tackles (three solo) and two passes defended, including an interception returned for a touchdown, in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Dugger became the first Patriots defender since 1970 to record three defensive touchdowns in a season, intercepting a pass over the middle in stride before navigating through a multitude of Dolphins on his way 39 yards into the end zone. This was also New England's seventh defensive touchdown of the season, which also marks a new franchise record. Dugger is also second on the team in tackles (72), passes defended (eight) and interceptions (three) this season. He'll look to continue making plays all over the field during the regular-season finale.

Dugger tallied nine tackles (eight solo) during the Patriots' 33-26 loss to the Vikings on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Dugger recorded his first sack of the season during last week's win over the Jets, and he followed up the performance with a season-high nine tackles during New England's Thanksgiving Day loss. Over his first nine appearances of the season, he's racked up 43 tackles (29 solo), including a sack, along with an interception, a fumble recovery, a touchdown and three pass defenses.

Dugger recorded seven tackles (four solo), one sack and one pass defense in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Dugger fell one short of his season high in stops and recorded his first sack -- an eight-yard loss on a first-and-10 play in the fourth quarter -- during his best statistical game of the season. Across eight appearances, the third-year safety has recorded 34 tackles, three pass defenses, one interception, one fumble recovery and one sack.

Dugger (ankle) is active Sunday against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Dugger missed Week 8 against the Jets, but he's back in action for Week 9. His return should be a boost to the team's secondary.

Dugger (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against Indianapolis.
EDGE Analysis
Dugger missed last week's game against the Jets due to an ankle injury and was limited at practice all week ahead of Sunday's Week 9 matchup. If he's unavailable for a second consecutive week, Jabrill Peppers and Joshuah Bledsoe would be in line for increased playing time.

Dugger (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dugger was sidelined for Week 8 due to an ankle injury he suffered a week prior. His return to practice, albeit in a limited fashion, is encouraging, but he'll likely have to log at least one full practice if he wants to avoid an injury designation ahead of Week 9.
