Injury setbacks test Patriots’ depth, Jets lose Garrett Wilson for Week 11
NFL Week 11 kicks off under the Foxborough lights as the New York Jets take on the streaking New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium. Both sides enter with momentum, New England riding high after its seventh straight win, while New York looks to extend its modest revival following consecutive victories over Cincinnati and Cleveland.
The Patriots, led by quarterback Drake Maye and breakout rusher TreVeyon Henderson, have stormed to the top of the AFC East with an 8-2 record, their ongoing win streak. The Jets, meanwhile, have clawed back from an 0-7 start to find some footing under head coach Aaron Glenn with 2-7, rediscovering identity through defense and opportunism even with key trade losses.
While both teams are trending upward, injuries could shape this Thursday Night Football clash. The Patriots’ offensive depth faces a test with several playmakers sidelined, while the Jets’ recent improvement may be tempered by uncertainty around key starters. The loss on both rosters adds another layer of intrigue to an already heated rivalry here.
The Patriots’ impressive run meets its first real personnel challenge of late, as multiple offensive contributors are ruled out. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and tight end Austin Hooper (concussion) headline the absences, removing two reliable safety valves from the offense. Wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) and linebacker Christian Elliss (hip) are also out, thinning both the receiving and defensive depth charts.
Listed questionable players are defensive lineman Joshua Farmer (ankle) and rookie running back Terrell Jennings (knee), potentially testing New England’s rotation in the trenches. Still, several key names, including TreVeyon Henderson, Christian Barmore, and Marcus Jones, practiced fully late in the week and carry no designation, suggesting the core remains intact.
Below is the injury report for the New England Patriots for Week 11 action against the New York Jets.

For the Jets, the good news is the relative shortness of the injury list. However, its impact is significant, none more so than Garrett Wilson (knee), who is officially ruled out after missing consecutive practices. His absence strips New York’s passing attack of its primary playmaker, placing added pressure on the short passing options. Cornerback Azareye’h Thomas (concussion) is also out, leaving the secondary thin against confident Patriots runners.
On the defensive front, Harrison Phillips (foot) and Will McDonald IV (quadriceps) are questionable, both key names for a line that must contain Maye’s pocket control. The Jets also listed Braiden McGregor, Khalil Herbert, and Xavier Newman-Johnson as questionable, reflecting depth concerns across multiple areas. Even with linebacker Francisco Mauigoa cleared from concussion protocol, New York enters Week 11 juggling uncertainty at key spots.

The Patriots face a longer list of absences that could test their offensive depth, while the Jets’ loss of Wilson removes their biggest threat downfield. With New England’s overall form and home advantage, they remain favorites, but New York’s recent spark suggests they won’t go quietly in Foxborough.
