  • Shifts to IR

    The Patriots placed Judon (biceps) on injured reserve Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Judon underwent surgery Oct. 4 after tearing his biceps in Week 4 against the Cowboys, with Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reporting that the star edge rusher was expected to be out for at least two months. Rookie Marte Mapu and Anfernee Jennings should both see increased workloads in Judon's absence.

  • Out for months after surgery

    Judon (biceps) is scheduled to undergo surgery Wednesday and is expected to miss at least two months, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Judon underwent an MRI on Monday that confirmed he suffered a right lower bicep tendon tear in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Cowboys. With rest and rehab not deemed a viable option, Judon will go under the knife, and the Patriots will have a clearer idea following the procedure whether or not the star edge rusher will be able to play again this season. A two-month absence would keep Judon sidelined until around Week 15.

  • Torn biceps tendon feared

    Judon is believed to have suffered a right lower bicep tendon tear in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Cowboys, and he could be facing a long-term absence, Mark Daniels of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Analysis: The edge rusher will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury, but if a bicep tear is confirmed, Judon could be at risk of missing multiple months if not the remainder of the season. Since joining New England on a four-year deal in March 2021, he has accrued 32 sacks in 38 games while earning Pro Bowl nods in each of his first two seasons with the team. Marte Mapu and Anfernee Jennings would likely be thrust into larger roles while Judon is sidelined.

  • Getting MRI on biceps

    Judon is being evaluated for a biceps injury and will have an MRI to determine the severity, but he's expected to miss time under any scenario, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Judon exited in the second half of Sunday's 38-3 loss to Dallas with what was initially termed an elbow injury, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the injury was actually a lower bicep tendon tear. Losing Judon for any period could have devastating effects for New England's defense, as he had 15.5 sacks last season and has four sacks through four games in 2023.

  • Hurts elbow in Week 4

    Judon (elbow) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Judon sustained an elbow injury in the second half, adding further bad news to a game in which the Patriots benched starting quarterback Mac Jones and are getting blown out. If Judon's unable to return in Dallas, another update on his status will surface before the Patriots host the Saints in Week 5.

  • Two more sacks in win

    Judon registered four tackles (two solo), including two sacks, in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Judon's second sack of the game came in the final three minutes of the fourth quarter when he sacked Zach Wilson in the end zone for a safety to extend the Patriots' lead to five. Judon is up to four sacks on the season and will look to continue terrorizing opposing quarterbacks as New England visits Dak Prescott and the Cowboys in Week 4.

  • Impressive Sunday night

    Judon logged four tackles (four solo) and a sack during the Patriots' 24-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Analysis: Judon registered the team's only sack of Tua Tagovailoa on Sunday night and has now recorded a sack in each of his first two games. The 31-year-old is on pace for double-digit sacks once again after logging 28 across his first two seasons in New England.

  • Gets a sack Sunday

    Judon recorded three tackles and a sack in Sunday's 25-20 loss versus Philadelphia.

    Analysis: The four-time Pro Bowler did what he does best in Week 1, sacking the notoriously elusive Jalen Hurts on a crucial third-and-goal to force a field goal on the first drive of the game. He's on pace for his third consecutive double-digit sack season, and he should have plenty of opportunities to rush the passer in Week 2 versus Tua Tagovailoa and a high-flying Miami offense.

  • Adjusts contract

    Judon and the Patriots agreed to a contract adjustment Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Judon is now guaranteed $14 million in 2023 -- up from $2 million -- and can make up to $18 million this season. Judon led the Patriots' defense with a career-high 15.5 sacks to go along with 60 tackles, three pass deflections, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery while playing in all 17 games. He's registered 28 sacks over the last two seasons with New England and will continue to be a lynchpin for a Patriots defense that finished eighth in yards allowed per game (322.0) last season.

  • Leads team in sacks

    Judon finished the 2022 season with 60 tackles (36 solo), 15.5 sacks and a fumble recovery while playing in 17 games.

    Analysis: Judon has now registered double-digit sacks in both of his seasons with the Patriots, something he failed to do in all five of his seasons with Baltimore. The four-time Pro Bowler set a new career high in sacks, which also led the team. Over the past two seasons, Judon is third in the NFL in sacks, and with two years left on his contract, he'll look to keep up that dominance heading into next season.

    Judon has re-entered Sunday's game against the Bills, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.

  • Exits with injury Sunday

    Judon (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: Judon appeared to get his ankle rolled up on while being blocked in the first quarter, according to Zack Cox of NESN.com. The 30-year-old pass rusher came into Week 18 tied for third in the NFL with 15.5 sacks. In his absence, Anfernee Jennings and Josh Uche will serve as New England's only available outside linebackers.

  • Continues to find quarterback

    Judon posted four tackles (three solo), including one-and-a-half sacks, during Monday's 27-13 win versus the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Judon got a chance to improve upon his career-best sack campaign, as the Patriots' pass rush was able to tee off on backup Colt McCoy after dynamic quarterback Kyler Murray suffered a torn ACL early in the first quarter. As a result, Judon increased his season-sack total to an NFL-best 14.5 through 14 weeks. However, he is still tied with 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa for the most sacks so far in 2022. Judon has notched a full sack in all but four of 13 games this season, though he may have a…read more

    Judon recorded five tackles (three solo) and 1.5 sacks in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Judon combined with Mack Wilson for a sack at the beginning of the third quarter and secured a solo QB takedown to start the fourth -- both on third-down plays. The star pass rusher has seven sacks over his last four appearances and 13 on the year, giving him a new career high.

    Judon collected six tackles (four solo), including three sacks, in Sunday's 26-3 victory versus the Colts.

    Analysis: Judon contributed one-third of the Patriots' nine sacks against Indianapolis, increasing his season total to 11.5. The 30-year-old now leads the league in this category through the first nine weeks of the 2022 campaign, and he'll look to add to this lead during New England's next contest against the Jets in Week 11.

  • Fills stat sheet

    Judon recorded four tackles (three solo), 2.5 sacks and a pass defensed in Monday's 33-14 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: Judon continues to rack up sacks, sitting at 8.5 now on the season through seven games. His performance also vaulted him to league leader in the category, with him surpassing Nick Bosa, with whom he was tied coming into Week 7. He'll look to continue adding to that total Sunday against the Jets.

  • Contributes to defensive TD Sunday

    Judon recorded three tackles (two solo), two sacks and a forced fumble during Sunday's 29-0 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Judon sacked Jared Goff on what would go on to be a 59-yard scoop and score for safety Kyle Dugger to put the Patriots ahead 13-0. The 261-pound linebacker is currently tied with Maxx Crosby, Nick Bosa and Micah Parsons for a league-leading six sacks through the first five games in 2022. Judon's next chance to wreack havoc on opposing QBs comes Sunday against a tough Browns offensive line.

    Analysis: Judon recorded one of the Patriots' three sacks of Tua Tagovailoa on Sunday, though he led the team in quarterback hits with four. The starting left outside linebacker appears poised to reprise his role as New England's top pass rusher in 2022.

    Analysis: Judon, who signed a four-year, $54.5 million contract with the Patriots last March, made his mark as a pass rusher in his first campaign with the team and will once again be counted on in that department in 2022.

The star linebacker has recorded a sack in each of his last six games as he continues to wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks. The veteran linebacker is the heart and soul of a New England defense that ranks second in the NFL.

    Analysis: This season, Judon has 11.5 sacks, already a career high despite him playing just 12 games so far, ranking him third in the NFL. The linebacker has impressively racked up at least one sack over eight of 12 games. One of the better edge rushers in the entire NFL, expect Judon to be a consistent IDP option moving forward.

The 29-year-old pass rusher has eight sacks through eight games during his first season with the Patriots, and he is well on his way to surpassing his career-high sack total for a season (9.5) that he set in 2019.

  • Heads to New England

    Judon and the Patriots have reached agreement on a four-year, $56 million contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Judon has never reached double-digit sacks, but he does have six or more in four straight seasons, with no fewer than 19 QB hits each of those years. And while he applied more pressure than the modest sack totals indicate, critics will note that Baltimore's affinity for Cover-0 blitzes created unblocked pass-rush situations for Judon. Regardless, his competence as both a pass rusher and run defender helped stabilize an otherwise shaky position in Baltimore the past few years. In New England,…read more

  • Bound for free agency

    The Ravens elected not to place their franchise tag on Judon ahead of Tuesday's deadline, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Baltimore will allow both Judon and Yannick Ngakoue to test the open market when free agency officially kicks off March 17. Hensley reported back in January that Judon is looking to earn $20 million per season on his next contract. Though Judon is sure to gather plenty of suitors in free agency, he'll likely have difficulty earning that large of a per-year figure.

    The Ravens will not place the franchise tag on Judon, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Judon was added to the reserve list Nov. 29 and made unavailable for last Wednesday's 19-14 loss to the Steelers, marking the 28-year-old's first missed game of 2020. The reigning Pro Bowler has recorded four sacks, 34 tackles and two pass deflections over 10 starts this season, but a second straight absence inserts Tyus Bowser into a No. 1 role at outside linebacker.

    Baltimore will place Judon (ankle) on the reserve/COVID-19 list after he tested positive for the coronavirus Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Tight end Mark Andrews (thigh) was also added to the list Sunday, as he and Judon became the 10th and 11th Ravens players to test positive for COVID-19. Both players will miss Tuesday's game against the Steelers, and at this point, the two should be considered unlikely to be activated prior to the Ravens' Week 13 matchup with the Cowboys on Dec. 7.

Barring a setback, he should be good to go for Sunday night's game, and he's expected to start at outside linebacker if that's the case. Judon recorded a season-high seven tackles last week against the Colts, adding his second pass breakup of the year.

  • Limited reps Thursday

    Judon (calf) was held to limited participation during the Ravens' practice session Thursday.

    Analysis: Judon abruptly appeared on the team's injury report Wednesday, and he was deemed entirely unable to participate in group drills. Improvement to a partial workload Thursday moves the needle in a positive direction regarding his Week 10 status, plus Judon is afforded slightly extra time to recover with Baltimore's matchup against New England not taking place until Sunday night. The reigning Pro Bowler has started every game for the Ravens thus far in 2020, registering 25 tackles, two sacks and 13…read more

  • Sidelined for Wednesday's practice

    Judon (calf) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: This appears to be a new injury for Judon, casting doubt onto his status for this week's game against the Patriots. The next two days of practice will be critical for his chances to suit up. Tyus Bowser likely would start at outside linebacker if Judon was ruled out.

  • Best tackling effort of 2020

    Judon registered seven tackles (five solo) and a pass breakup in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Judon handled a season-high 78 percent snap share and came through with a season high in tackles as well. The fifth-year linebacker has now produced 25 stops through eight games, but his ceiling has taken a hit this year with just two sacks (he recorded 9.5 in 2019).

  • Gains full clearance

    Judon was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday and logged a full practice.

    Analysis: Judon was placed on the list Tuesday as he was considered high risk due to close contact with Marlon Humphrey, who tested positive Monday. It appears Judon has tested negative enough times to return to the team and suit up in Sunday's game against the Colts. The veteran will handle his usual starting role at one of the outside linebacker positions for Week 9 now that he's been officially cleared.

  • Lands on COVID-19 list

    Judon was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Judon is considered a high-risk close contact to Marlon Humphrey, who tested positive for the virus Monday, and he'll need to isolate for five days. If Judon tests negative through Saturday, he'll be eligible to play in Sunday's road game versus the Colts. Patrick Queen, L.J. Fort, Malik Harrison and Tyus Bowser also landed on the list, so the Ravens will need to call up practice squad players if anyone is forced to miss time.

  • Given boot from AFC North clash

    Judon has been ejected from Sunday's matchup against the Steelers for contacting an official, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Judon's contact was not malicious by any means, as he was seemingly trying to free his arm from an opposing player's grasp when he bumped the referee. The officiating crew deemed the act significant enough to merit ejection, however, removing a formidable pass rusher from Baltimore's front seven. Judon has recorded eight QB hits and two sacks over his past three appearances, but the Ravens will have to proceed without him for the remainder of Sunday's contest.

  • Totals two sacks in win

    Judon finished with four tackles (two solo), two sacks, and two tackles for loss Sunday against Washington.

    Analysis: Judon registered his first two sacks of the 2020 campaign. He tallied 9.5 sacks a season ago, so while he was off to a slow start entering Week 4, he's right back on track following an impressive week despite playing in just 59 percent of his squad's defensive snaps (42).

  • Stuck with franchise tag

    Judon will play out 2020 under the franchise tag, Childs Walker of the Baltimore Sun reports.

    Analysis: Judon and the Ravens failed to work out a long-term extension before Wednesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline. The outside linebacker is scheduled for a $16.8 million salary in 2020 as he looks to build upon last year's career highs for sacks (9.5) and QB hits (33). Judon played 81 percent of Baltimore's defensive snaps as a 16-game starter in 2019, and he should see a similar workload in 2020.

  • Ok with being tagged

    Judon doesn't mind the franchise tag, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. "I'm pleased to be tagged," Judon said "I feel like only a few players get to go through this in their lifetime. As much as I want stability in the future, I'm proud of where I'm at and where I came from."

    Analysis: Judon signed the franchise tender in late May, ending any speculation about a potential holdout. He presumably prefers to sign a long-term contract before the July 15 deadline, but it doesn't sound like he's in any rush to agree to a team-friendly deal. The 2016 fifth-round pick is scheduled to make $16.8 million under the franchise tag, following a 2019 campaign with career highs for sacks (9.5), QB hits (33) and forced fumbles (four). The raw numbers were impressive, but PFF charted Judon…read more

  • Inks franchise tag

    Judon signed his franchise tag Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Judon's decision to sign the franchise tag suggests that he won't opt for a holdout even if the Ravens don't sign him to a long-term deal prior to the July 15 deadline. As such, Judon will carry a sizable $16.3 million contract for the 2020 campaign. The pass rusher is coming off a solid 2019 season in which he notched multiple career-high marks, including 9.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and 33 QB hits, to go with a solid 54 total tackles through 16 games.

  • Gets franchise tag

    The Ravens gave Judon a franchise tag Friday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The move has long been expected, with Judon the lone reasonable choice to receive Baltimore's tag this offseason. It's less clear if he'll sign a long-term deal, play on the tag or get traded, as reports from February hinted at friction between the two parties. Judon is coming off a 2019 campaign with career highs for sacks (9.5), QB hits (33) and forced fumbles (four), but the Ravens believe some of his production was the result of a blitz-happy scheme and excellent play from their…read more

  • Prepping for franchise tag

    Judon is expected to receive a franchise tag, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Judon is the only reasonable candidate for Baltimore this offseason, coming off a 2019 campaign with career highs for sacks (9.5), QB hits (33) and forced fumbles (four). His representatives likely will argue that his fourth-in-the-league total for QB hits shows pass-rushing ability beyond the sack numbers, while Baltimore's front office can argue that Judon was aided by the team's league-high blitz rate (54.9 percent) and excellent secondary. Regardless of how the arguments play out, Judon…read more

  • May get franchise tag

    Judon is a candidate to receive the franchise tag and may also be the subject of trade inquiries, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

    Analysis: The 2016 fifth-round pick had a career-high 9.5 sacks in the final season of his rookie contract, bringing his four-year averages to 7.1 sacks, 20.5 QB hits and 46.5 tackles on 640.5 defensive snaps per year. Judon is the Ravens' only viable candidate for a franchise tag, but the team would probably prefer to sign him to a long-term contract. While a tag-and-trade presumably wouldn't be the first option, it could become part of the discussion if Judon and the Ravens have trouble reaching a…read more

  • Career-high sacks in 2019

    Judon recorded 54 tackles (43 solo), 9.5 sacks and four forced fumbles across 16 regular-season contests in 2019.

    Analysis: Judon typically handled around 80 percent of defensive snaps per game in 2019. He settled into a groove across from rookie third-round pick Jaylon Ferguson, securing IDP relevance en route to surpassing his previous career-high sack total set during the 2017 season. The 27-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent in March.

  • Big game Sunday

    Judon racked up seven tackles (all solo) and two sacks in Sunday's blowout win over the Texans.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old is finally settling into his groove, as he's racked up 13 solo tackles and two sacks in his past two games. His two takedowns of Deshaun Watson were his fifth and sixth of the season, as he creeps up to the career-high eight he managed in the 2017 season. Judon saw 77 percent of snaps in the game, and if he can continue to produce on a consistent basis, he'll firmly push himself into IDP relevance.
