The Texans worked out Ximines (knee) on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ximines hasn't seen meaningful action since he went to New England's injured-reserve list early last season, but his recent activity suggests he has recovered from last year's knee issue. He's still a free agent as the preseason gets underway.

The Patriots placed Ximines (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ximines had been ruled out for Thursday night's contest against the Jets due to a knee injury, but he's since shifted to New England's IR. The Old Dominion product logged one total tackle across two games, playing 44 total snaps (14 defensive and 30 on special teams) before suffering his injury.

Ximines (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup with the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Ximines was held out of practice both Tuesday and Wednesday after sustaining a knee injury during New England's Week 2 loss, so it's no surprise that he won't be suiting up in Week 3. Anfernee Jennings and Josh Uche are currently the only two healthy outside linebackers on the Patriots' active roster heading into Thursday night.

Ximines (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

EDGE Analysis

Ximines exited Sunday's loss to the Seahawks and was unable to return to the game. Although it's just an estimate, as the Patriots didn't hold a practice, it's still not a good sign for the Old Dominion product with the Patriots on a short week. Unless he's ruled out earlier, more clarity on Ximines status for Thursday against the Jets may not come until the team releases their inactive list about 90 minutes before kickoff.

Ximines (knee) is out for the rest of Sunday's game versus the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis

Ximines left Sunday's contest early after suffering a knee injury, and now he's been declared out for the rest of Week 2. Josh Uche should see an uptick in snaps in Ximines' absence.

Ximines (knee) is questionable to return Sunday against the Seahawks, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ximines exit will be a blow to New England's linebacker depth after they already lost Ja'Whaun Bentley to a shoulder injury for the remainder of the game.

The Patriots signed Ximines on Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ximines was a third-round pick by the Giants back in 2019 but recorded just 6.5 sacks across five seasons with the team. He'll look to reboot his career in a new setting with New England.

Ximines will be a part of the active roster for Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals in Week 2, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ximines will join the active roster and help replace Azeez Ojulari (hamstring) on New York's defense. Ximines appeared in 15 contests last season, recording 24 tackles, including two sacks.

Ximines was released by the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old appeared in 45 games throughout his four years in New York, putting up 67 tackles, nine tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks. Ximines re-signed with the Giants this offseason, but the team's recent trade for Boogie Basham most likely sealed his fate with Big Blue.

Ximines re-signed with the Giants on Wednesday, Art Stapleton of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ximines will now remain in New York for the 2023 campaign, where he's played for the entirety of his four year career. The 2019 third-round pick logged 24 tackles (15 solo) and two sacks in 15 games last year, and he should continue to provide value as a rotational player behind starters Kayvon Thibodeaux and Azeez Ojulari this season as well.
