Patriots Injury Report: Two Rookies Sidelined Vs. Cardinals

Patriots Injury Report: Two Rookies Sidelined Vs. Cardinals

New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo wanted to get more playing time for his team’s rookies over the final four games of the season.

But two first-year players won’t see the field at all Sunday for New England’s Week 15 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

The Patriots ruled out both wide receiver Javon Baker (concussion) and offensive tackle Caedan Wallace (ankle), who had his practice window opened this week after landing on injured reserve with an ankle injury. It will be the 10th straight game missed for Wallace, a third-round pick. Defensive tackle Jaquelin Roy also won’t play and he got tougher news with the Patriots placing him on IR, which effectively ends his season, due to a foot injury.

The Patriots also had several notable players questionable for the contest, including Christian Barmore, Kyle Dugger, Christian Gonzalez and Cole Strange — all four were limited participants in Friday’s practice. Strange could make his season debut after being out since last December due to a torn patellar tendon.

Here is the Patriots full injury report:

OUT
WR Javon Baker, Concussion
DT Jaquelin Roy, Foot
OT Caedan Wallace, Ankle

QUESTIONABLE
DT Christian Barmore, Not Injury Related — Other
S Kyle Dugger, Ankle
CB Christian Gonzalez, Shoulder
T Vederian Lowe, Shoulder
OL Cole Strange, Knee

The Cardinals aren’t as banged up as the Patriots. They also ruled three players out, but only listed two players as questionable as Arizona looks to stay in the playoff hunt.

Here is the Cardinals full injury report:

OUT
RB Emari Demercado, Back
P Blake Gillikin, Right Foot
CB Elijah Jones, Ankle

QUESTIONABLE
DL Naquan Jones, Shoulder
DL Roy Lopez, Ankle

The Patriots and Cardinals kick off from State Farm Stadium on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET.
