After the New England Patriots lost their last three games, they'll host the Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium in Week 5 for the first of two games in the 2024 season.

As the team prepares for the matchup, New England held practice on Wednesday on the fields behind their home stadium, and 15 players appeared on their first injury report of the week.

Five players were non-participants: center David Andrews (shoulder), safety Kyle Dugger (ankle), wide receiver K.J. Osborn (shoulder) safety Jabrill Peppers (shoulder) and offensive tackle Caedan Wallace (ankle).

Limited participants included tight end Jaheim Bell (neck), wide receiver Kendrick Bourne (knee), linebacker Anfernee Jennings (shoulder), cornerback Jonathan Jones (shoulder), guard Michael Jordan (ankle), center Nick Leverett (ankle), offensive tackle Vederian Lowe (knee), safety Marte Mapu (calf), guard Layden Robinson (ankle/wrist) and linebacker Sione Takitaki (knee).

Bourne, Mapu and Takitaki have all started their 21-day practice windows to return from reserve/PUP.

Miami has yet to release their injury report.
