Patriots declared SS Patrick Chung inactive for Week 13 against the Colts. Chung is a surprise inactive after participating in the Patriots walkthrough on Saturday. Devin McCourty is active and expected to see extended playing in nickel packages after missing the last two weeks with a separated shoulder.

Patriots SS Pat Chung (foot) did not play in Week 11 against the Chiefs, and undrafted Sterling Moore started in his place for the second straight week. Moore is a versatile, albeit unheralded player that was serviceable in Week 10 and masked by Tyler Palko's deficiencies this week. Chung's injury may be going the wrong direction, as he was a game-time decision last week and was ruled out mid-week this time around. Regardless, the Eagles' passing game has an amazing matchup next week.

Patriots SS Patrick Chung (thumb) is "preparing to play" against the Raiders this week. Chung was sorely missed in the loss at Buffalo last week. Although he's pushing to play, Chung concedes that the decision will ultimately fall on the Pats' medical staff. Chung did participate in a limited practice Wednesday, a positive sign.

Patriots SS Patrick Chung (thumb), DT Albert Haynesworth (back), and WR Taylor Price (hamstring) have been ruled out for Week 3. Backup safety Josh Barrett will replace Chung against Buffalo's No. 1 scoring offense, and the loss of Haynesworth will create some depth issues along an already depleted defensive line. All together, this presents a slight upgrade for Bills skill position players in a game that was already projected to be a shootout.

Patriots SS Pat Chung made a surprising return to practice Friday after undergoing thumb surgery this week. Sporting a cast on his right hand, Chung responded, "I am keeping it low" when asked if he has a shot to play this week. Backup safety Josh Barrett told the Boston Globe that he's "confident" Chung will end up playing against the Bills this week. Check back later in the day for an update.

The Boston Herald's Ian Rapoport reports Patriots SS Pat Chung (thumb surgery) is out for Week 3. It's bad news for a Patriots' pass defense coming off two straight shaky performances and tasked with slowing down a red-hot Ryan Fitzpatrick this weekend. It will also test their depth less than one month after their surprising release of SS Brandon Meriweather. Chung played through the injury for nearly a quarter in Week 2, so it's hard to believe his absence will last any longer than a week. Sergio Brown should get the start in his place against the Bills.

Patriots SS Pat Chung underwent surgery Wednesday to repair his right thumb. ESPN Boston calls Chung's status "uncertain" for Week 3. Chung left last week's game with the third-quarter injury, but was able to return in the fourth. We suspect he will still start against the Bills, perhaps with a cast on his hand. Through two games, Chung has 14 tackles (13 solo), one sack, and a pass breakup. He'll lose some INT potential due to the injury.
