The New England Patriots will face the Buffalo Bills without Deatrich Wise Jr.
The fifth-year defensive lineman has been placed on the Covid-19 reserve list in advance of Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Gillette Stadium amid a series of transactions.
Wise, 27, stands with 36 tackles, three sacks and one forced fumble through nine starts this season. The Arkansas product’s move to the list follows rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson’s while wide receiver Kendrick Bourne was officially activated on Saturday.
In additional movement, the Patriots have activated linebacker Josh Uche from injured reserve and elevated wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson, defensive tackle Daniel Ekuale and cornerback D’Angelo Ross from the practice squad.
