Patriots Defense Gets Massive Boost vs. Texans

As the New England Patriots prepare for kickoff against the Houston Texans today, they have received some huge injury news on the defensive side of the football.

Kyle Dugger, the team's star safety, will return to the field this afternoon.

That news was shared by the Patriots on X. It's a huge reinforcement for a defense that will have its hands full defending against C.J. Stroud.

Having Dugger on the field will be key for New England.
