New England Patriots Summary

The New England Patriots are preparing for a pivotal matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, but they face significant challenges with injuries impacting their defensive lineup. According to the latest injury report, five defensive starters, including linebackers Harold Landry III, Robert Spillane, and Christian Elliss, were sidelined as of Wednesday.

Spillane's absence was notably felt during last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills, where the Patriots squandered a 24-7 halftime lead, ultimately losing 35-31. In response to their injury woes, the Patriots have signed former Raiders linebacker Amari Gainer to their practice squad, aiming to bolster their roster ahead of the crucial game.

As they move into Week 16, the Patriots are left with limited playoff scenarios after their recent defeat, and fans are left questioning their chances of winning the AFC East title this season.
