Patriots place linebacker Harold Landry on PUP list to start season
Summary

The New England Patriots placed linebacker Harold Landry on the physically unable to perform list on August 31, 2026. The move mandates that Landry will miss a minimum of the first four games of the regular season. Landry, who signed a three-year contract prior to the 2025 season, has been recovering from knee surgery performed after the Super Bowl. Head coach Mike Vrabel indicated the team sought to be cautious with his return to the field following persistent injury issues throughout the previous year. Alongside this designation, the team placed offensive lineman Marcus Bryant on injured reserve and Brenden Schooler on the non-football injury list. These roster moves leave the Patriots with limited depth as the team prepares for the opening of the 2026 schedule.
