Harold Landry injury raises questions for Patriots in 2026

Linebacker Harold Landry has been sidelined by a persistent knee problem that lingered through the 2025 campaign, limiting his impact on the Patriots' pass rush. Despite extensive rehab, his recovery has progressed slowly, and doubts remain about his ability to return to full strength for the 2026 season.

The coaching staff is closely monitoring his health while reshaping the defensive front with alternative pass‑rushers and adopting a more flexible alignment to counter opposing offenses.
