The New England Patriots got a scare in the first half of their Week 6 game against the New York Jets when wide receiver Romeo Doubs went down with an injury.
Doubs was hurt in the first quarter, but he was able to walk off the field under his own power before heading to the medical tent. Before leaving the game, he had already made a big impact, hauling in a 42-yard touchdown from quarterback Drake Maye.
The Patriots later announced that Doubs is officially questionable to return because of a shoulder injury.
After spending time in the medical tent, Doubs was taken back to the locker room, a sign that his return is in doubt. His exact injury was not known as of this writing, and further updates were expected once more information became available.
The injury came during a Week 6 Sunday slate that also included Houston Texans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars in London at 9:30 a.m.
ET on NFL Network, followed by New Orleans Saints at New York Giants, Chicago Bears at Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts, New York Jets at New England Patriots, Carolina Panthers at Philadelphia Eagles, and Pittsburgh Steelers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 1:00 p.m. ET.
Later games included Arizona Cardinals at Los Angeles Rams at 4:05 p.m. ET, Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills at Las Vegas Raiders at 4:25 p.m.

Bart Scott Just Put Geno Smiths Biggest Jets Concern On Blast
Geno Smith has done a good job protecting the football lately, going five straight games without an interception, but the deeper issue around the Jets offense has been the punishment he has absorbed. He has taken 16 sacks over his last four games, a stretch that has put him at the top of the league in yards lost to sacks and kept the conversation centered on protection rather than production.
The concern only grows with Dylan Parham still sidelined by a knee injury after missing the Jets' last three games, leaving more uncertainty up front for an offense already dealing with pressure. Bart Scott recently pointed to the idea that Smith may have to do more with his legs if the pocket keeps collapsing, which is easier said than done given how much less dynamic that part of his game has become with age.

Jets Get An Encouraging Kenyon Sadiq Sign Before Patriots Game
The Jets got a timely boost for their divisional matchup with New England when rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq moved closer to returning from a concussion. Selected 16th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, Sadiq has become part of the offense this season with 14 catches for 146 yards and a touchdown, giving New York another young target as it tries to steady itself after an uneven start.
New York enters the game at 2-3 with a chance to get back to .500, and having Sadiq available would matter in a meeting that already carries the usual AFC East edge. His status had been a question after he was forced out last week, but Friday's full practice was the encouraging sign the Jets were looking for heading into Sunday. [Read more 🡒]
Jets Inactives Could Shape Aaron Glenns Biggest Spot Yet
The injury report for Sunday's Jets-Patriots matchup already has a little bit of everything in it, and for a team still trying to settle into the Aaron Glenn era, availability could matter as much as scheme. New York has ruled out four players and listed three more as questionable, though those players are expected to suit up, leaving the final game-day picture a little clearer than it first looked.
One name that stands out is Breece Hall, who has been ruled out for New York, removing one of the offense's most important playmakers from the equation. On the other side, New England enters with two players out and a much longer questionable list, and the Patriots are also expected to get several key contributors back, including A.J. Brown, Will Campbell, TreVeyon Henderson and Christian Gonzalez, which could make the margin for error even smaller for a Jets team trying to manage the attrition of Week 6. [Read more 🡒]
