Since he&#8217;ll need to clear concussion protocol before he re-takes the field, he probably won&#8217;t be ready for Monday Night Football. Matt LaCosse, meanwhile, has battled injury throughout the 2019 season. Even though New England will probably be without Izzo and LaCosse, they&#8217;ll finally get to see\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WatsBe00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ben Watson<\/a><\/strong> back on the field. Watson signed with the Patriots in the off-season but missed the first four games due to a suspension.

The running back was in the midst of a nice stretch of play but ultimately couldn&#8217;t stay healthy. He was a game-time decision in Week 6, so he&#8217;ll probably be ready to go against the New York Jets.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Chung was listed with heel and chest injuries, but don&#8217;t expect that to slow him down. Chung is one of the toughest players on the roster and hasn&#8217;t missed a game yet this season. Don&#8217;t expect that to change on Monday Night Football.<\/p>\n<p>Julian Edelman first suffered his chest injury in Week 3 but has yet to miss a game in 2019. While he&#8217;s suffered a few knicks and bruises since the initial injury, he should be ready to start and serve as the top option in the passing game. Phillip Dorsett, meanwhile, suffered a hamstring injury early in Week 5 and hasn&#8217;t played since. He&#8217;s probably going to be more of a game-time decision than the other players on this list.<\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"RCu5Nu0wRDJbAMQVtMeA0g\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1175170355\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'RCu5Nu0wRDJbAMQVtMeA0g',sig:'_6rKYsxI2yRH4A0GFgVQzRDT8WuOwEzKkj3n2FhA8-g=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1175170355',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Josh Gordon, Ryan Izzo, and Matt LaCosse missed Friday&#8217;s practice session, while Rex Burkhead and three other New England Patriots were limited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":74924,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5,36],"tags":[4076,5138,507,666,1012,2014,1823,5351,331],"class_list":["post-74922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-patriots","category-nfl-news","tag-ben-watson","tag-jakobi-meyers","tag-josh-gordon","tag-julian-edelman","tag-patrick-chung","tag-phillip-dorsett","tag-rex-burkhead","tag-ryan-izzo","tag-tom-brady"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74922"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74922\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74924"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74922"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
