Stephen Gostkowski Won't Rule Out NFL Return

While preparing to watch Sunday’s Titans-Patriots game, kicker Stephen Gostkowski made a noteworthy revelation. The 37-year-old isn’t opposed to resuming his NFL career in the future, reports ESPN’s Mike Reiss

After an illustrious Patriots career that saw him win three Super Bowls and earn two All-Pro honors, Gostkowski signed with the Titans in 2020. He played in 15 games, converting 18 of 26 field goals and 46 of 48 extra points.

Gostkowski, collected four Pro Bowl nods with the Patriots from 2006-15 and left as the team’s all-time leading scorer. Across those 14 seasons, there were only two in which he didn’t make at least 82% of his field goal tries.

Patriots RB Damien Harris Clears Concussion Protocol

The Patriots offense will get some reinforcement for tomorrow’s game against the Falcons. Running back Damien Harris returned to practice today, an indication he’s cleared concussion protocol and should be good to go for TNF.

The former third-round pick has been having a career season in 2021, collecting 610 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns. Before suffering a concussion in Week 9, Harris had collected at least 80 rushing yards in three straight games. The 24-year-old should find himself back atop the depth chart on Thursday evening.

With Harris out of the lineup, rookie Rhamondre Stevenson ran wild last weekend, collecting 114 total yards and two touchdowns. The Patriots are also rostering running backs Brandon Bolden and J.J. Taylor, while veteran pass-catcher James White is out for the season.

Gunner Olszewski also overcame concussion protocol and should play tomorrow against the Falcons. The 24-year-old was forced to miss Sunday’s win over the Browns, but he otherwise appeared in all nine previous games in 2021. Olszewski has mostly appeared on special teams, having returned 10 kicks for 242 yards and 18 punts for 248 yards.

Patriots Place LB Josh Uche On IR, Activate LB Chase Winovich

One of the Patriots’ rotational pass rushers will be out for at least three weeks. The Pats are moving Josh Uche to IR ahead of their Thursday game against the Falcons.

A second-year player out of Michigan, Uche has played on roughly a third of New England’s defensive snaps. He has worked as an off-the-bench contributor, joining a deeper stable of linebackers than the Patriots featured last season.

Uche has registered three sacks in nine games, though none have come since Week 2. That figure remains second on the team. Matt Judon leads the Pats with 9.5 sacks, but only he and Uche have more than two this season among Patriots. Last year’s 60th overall pick has totaled four quarterback hits as well.

New England will have some additional help, with fellow edge rusher Chase Winovich coming off IR Wednesday. Uche’s ex-Wolverines teammate has missed four games this season but has shown steady flashes as a sack artist in the past. The 2019 third-round pick posted 5.5 sacks in each of his first two seasons.
