What happened: The New England Patriots detailed their 2026 injured reserve list. The group includes tight end Julian Hill, wide receivers Jimmy Kibble and Jeremiah Webb, and running backs Terrell Jennings and Myles Montgomery. Running back Jam Miller was waived with an injury settlement.

Why it matters: The growing number of sidelined players tests New England's depth during the regular season. The team's injury list has already surpassed last season's total.

What to watch: The Patriots will rely on depth chart adjustments and practice squad elevations to fill the roster gaps.
