Kyle Dugger News
The New England Patriots are placing the transition tag on safety Kyle Dugger ahead of free agency. The tag allows Dugger to become a free agent, but New England will have the chance to match any offer he receives from another organization. Dugger has racked up 343 tackles, 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, nine interceptions, and 17 run stuffs in 61 games since being selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He's a starting-caliber safety, so he could have a robust market when teams can begin negotiating with players on March 11.
The New England Patriots downgraded defensive back Kyle Dugger (ankle) to out for the Week 8 game against the New York Jets. Dugger was injured in Monday night's loss to the Chicago Bears, and he'll miss at least one game on a short week. It remains to be seen if the 26-year-old safety will be able to return in Week 9 to face the Indianapolis Colts. In six games this year, Dugger has 24 tackles (15 solo), one interception, two passes defensed and a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown. He hasn't been on the IDP radar, but Dugger's absence is a downgrade for New England's secondary against the Jets. With Dugger out, Adrian Phillips and Jabrill Peppers will be asked to step up at safety.
The New England Patriots placed safety Kyle Dugger on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday after he tested positive for the virus. Dugger, if vaccinated, will need to be asymptomatic and return two negatives tests in order to be able to play on Monday night against the Buffalo Bills. Dugger has emerged as a top-10 fantasy defensive back in IDP leagues this year, so fantasy managers in those formats will need to search for a potential replacement this week if Dugger doesn't get cleared by Monday. The 25-year-old has 80 total tackles, three interceptions and a fumble recovery in 12 games played this year, and he'll join running back J.J. Taylor on the COVID-19 list.
