Patriots Activate LB Jahlani Tavai From Injured Reserve For Bills Game
The New England Patriots have activated linebacker Jahlani Tavai from injured reserve ahead of their Sunday night game against the Buffalo Bills, marking his return from a calf injury sustained during offseason activities. Tavai, who led the team with 115 tackles in 2024 and signed a three-year, $16 million extension before the season, has been working diligently in rehab and practice to regain football shape, earning praise from Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel for his versatility, instincts, and fundamentals. His return adds depth to the linebacker unit, potentially rotating alongside Robert Spillane, Christian Elliss, Jack Gibbens, and Marte Mapu, with expected contributions on both defense and special teams. Tavai's activation did not require any roster moves due to an open spot on the 53-man roster. The Patriots anticipate his experience will bolster their efforts to contain the Bills' dynamic offense, including reigning MVP Josh Allen and running back James Cook. This marks a significant boost in New England's defense as they prepare for the AFC East showdown.
