Izzo (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Izzo worked as a limited practice participant this week and might have a chance to return from his two-game absence. The 23-year-old will still need to fully clear the concussion protocol before being able to suit up.

Izzo (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Nora Princiotti of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Izzo didn't practice in any capacity last week, which makes Wednesday's limited session notable progress in his recovery from the head injury. With Matt LaCosse (knee) also limited to begin the week, it's possible that Ben Watson could be New England's only available tight end during Sunday's tilt against the Ravens if the Patriots don't add another option at the position to the roster beforehand.

Izzo (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Matt LaCosse (knee) also having been ruled out for the contest, the Patriots' Week 8 tight end duties will be handled by Ben Watson and Eric Tomlinson.

Izzo (concussion) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Izzo remains in the concussion protocol, and he has yet to make tangible progress in his recovery. With Matt LaCosse (knee) also sidelined to begin the week, it appears as though the Patriots could be forced to rely on Ben Watson and Eric Tomlinson as tight end once again during Sunday's tilt against the Browns.

Izzo (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Izzo suffered the concussion during Thursday's practice, so clearing the concussion protocol in only a couple days never seemed a likely outcome. Matt LaCosse (knee) was also ruled out, leaving Ben Watson and Eric Tomlinson to work at tight end for the Patriots.

Izzo (concussion) is not expected to be available against the Jets on Monday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Izzo suffered a head injury during Thursday's practice, and he hasn't yet resumed participating in any capacity. He'll need to full clear the league's concussion protocol before retaking the field, making him a longshot for Week 7. With Matt LaCosse (knee) also not practicing, the Patriots may be forced to work with only Ben Watson and Eric Tomlinson available at the tight end position versus New York.

Izzo (concussion) missed Friday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
The Patriots' Friday injury report confirmed that the tight end is dealing with a concussion, which jeopardizes his status for Monday night's game against the Jets. With Matt LaCosse also not practicing due to a knee issue, recently re-signed Ben Watson and newcomer Eric Tomlinson may end up serving as the team's tight ends in Week 7.

Izzo was evaluated for a concussion following Thursday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As a result, Izzo wasn't spotted at practice Friday. With Matt LaCosse dealing with a knee issue, recently re-signed Ben Watson and newcomer Eric Tomlinson currently profile as the Patriots' top healthy tight ends.

Izzo, who was on the field for 80 of a possible 82 snaps on offense in Thursday's 35-14 win over the Giants, hauled in two of his four targets for 31 yards.
EDGE Analysis
His increased workload Thursday corresponded with Matt LaCosse (knee) being banged up in the game. Izzo has now caught two passes in back-to-back outings, but he's only worth a look in the deepest of fantasy formats, considering the Patriots' limited usage of tight ends in their offense thus far this season.

Following the release of Ben Watson, the Patriots will head into Thursday night's game against the Giants with a tight end duo of Izzo and Matt LaCosse.
EDGE Analysis
Izzo, who saw action on 20 of a possible 78 snaps on offense in Sunday's 33-7 win over Washington, caught both of his targets for 39 yards and a TD in the contest. Still, with just five targets in as many games overall this season, Izzo's volume isn't reliable enough for him to profile as a fantasy option, even with Watson no longer a threat to claim a role in the Patriots offense.
