The Patriots routinely rotated him out of the lineup during their wild-card matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers, too, as he played less snaps (26) than any of his regular season appearances and gave way in the fourth quarter to Elijah Ponder (22) and Anfernee Jennings (20).<\/p>\n<p>Darrell Taylor, who was signed to the practice squad on Wednesday, was not elevated despite many thinking he was brought aboard as potential insurance \u2014 so it will be the same rotation against Houston.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots and Texans are scheduled to do battle at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday at Gillette Stadium<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New England Patriots linebacker Harold Landry III should be good to go for his club&#8217;s divisional round matchup with the Houston Texans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41871,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41870","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
