Jones serves as New England\u2019s primary punt returner. Meanwhile, Hasty is pivotal to the kick return unit, having returned 10 kickoffs this season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"EVI37AEYPVGQTL6QPBGGNGW3RI\">Jones&#8217; absence on punt return certainly throws a wrench into things. The third-year player has yet to miss a game this year. Meanwhile, no other player on the roster has returned a punt this season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"PX2MV6QYW5HO5OQ723GTI3G7GA\">Things look a little better on kick returns. Running back Antonio Gibson has run back six kicks this season while rookie wide receiver Javon Baker has returned five.<\/p>\n<p id=\"AWONGTJBE5GPJLF2VWHIXGIX2Q\">Jones is one of the Patriots&#8217; most versatile players. In addition to being an electric punt returner, Jones is also a major factor in New England\u2019s secondary. He has also contributed as a wide receiver on offense, coming in for occasional gadget plays.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ARWQUIEFXVAJHCUQ4JL23CP72I\">Three players were added to Friday\u2019s injury report. Safety Jabrill Peppers was ruled questionable with a hamstring injury. Meanwhile, defensive end Keion white is questionable with a groin issue.<\/p>\n<p id=\"BK5J2DANJ5FDHN2YUJUK57XX6A\">Multiple players were removed from the list and do not have a designation for this weekend: WR Javon Baker, CB Christian Gonzalez, LB Anfernee Jennings, T Vederian Lowe, LB Jahlani Tavai and DE Deatrich Wise Jr.<\/p>\n<p id=\"MWB5UNYGFBAU7MPQBLHOKUGW4A\">Here\u2019s the full injury report from Friday:<\/p>\n<p id=\"R5VP3QLGWNGNLPHE5D7WXURDOQ\"><b>OUT<\/b><br \/>\nRB JaMycal Hasty, Ankle (DNP)<br \/>\nCB Marcus Jones, Hip (DNP)<\/p>\n<p id=\"Y3RMLVED7BED3JY5I27RFMEM6E\"><b>QUESTIONABLE<\/b><br \/>\nS Kyle Dugger, Ankle \/ Illness (LP)<br \/>\nS Jabrill Peppers, Hamstring (LP)<br \/>\nOL Cole Strange, Knee (LP)<br \/>\nOT Caedan Wallace, Ankle (LP)<br \/>\nDE Keion White, Groin (LP)<\/p>\n<p id=\"WKYMBPXRLNGJLGAQJSF2SC5ICQ\">Here\u2019s the full Bills injury report:<\/p>\n<p id=\"IDXD2GAPD5FCHFEK4PT7DGQUV4\"><b>QUESTIONABLE<\/b><br \/>\nCB Rasul Douglas, Knee (LP)<br \/>\nS Damar Hamlin, Rib (LP)<br \/>\nLB Matt Milano, Biceps\/Groin (LP)<br \/>\nS Taylor Rapp, Neck (LP)<br \/>\nWR Curtis Samuel, Rib (LP)<br \/>\nLB Baylon Spector, Calf (LP)<br \/>\nLB Dorian Williams, Elbow (LP)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
