Patriots List LBs Spillane, Landry III as Questionable for Super Bowl LX
The New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks are set to compete in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. As the teams prepare, key injury updates have emerged for both squads.
Injury Report for Patriots
The Patriots have listed three players with injury designations as questionable for the big game:
- Robert Spillane (LB) – Ankle injury
- Harold Landry III (OLB) – Knee injury
- Joshua Farmer (DT) – Hamstring injury
Despite these concerns, Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has been removed from the injury report. Maye had been dealing with a right shoulder injury that occurred during the AFC Championship Game.
Drake Maye’s Recovery
Maye participated fully in all practices leading up to the Super Bowl, expressing confidence about his health. After a brief struggle with his shoulder during the AFC Championship, Maye stated he felt like he “turned a corner” on the team flight to the Bay Area. In a media session, he confidently mentioned, “I’m feeling great and looking forward to getting out there.”
Defense on the Line for Super Bowl LX
While Maye appears ready to take the field, questions linger regarding Spillane’s effectiveness. He left the AFC title game with an ankle injury and missed multiple practices but indicated his intention to play. Seattle’s offensive strategy heavily depends on running the ball, making Spillane’s potential participation critical for the Patriots.
Landry, who has battled a knee issue and was unavailable during the AFC Championship, has also practiced in a limited capacity. If he cannot play, fellow linebackers Anfernee Jennings and Elijah Ponder will likely have bigger roles after their impressive performances against the Broncos.
Seattle’s Situation
On the Seahawks’ side, rookie safety Nick Emmanwori suffered an ankle injury in practice. However, he is not listed as questionable and is expected to participate in the game. Emmanwori’s versatile skill set has been crucial for the Seahawks’ defensive scheme.
Final Preparations for Super Bowl LX
Both teams continue to evaluate the statuses of their key defenders. The deadline for elevating players from practice squads is set for Saturday at 4 p.m. ET, with potential candidates from the Patriots including RB D’Ernest Johnson and DT Leonard Taylor III. As the game approaches, preparations and adjustments will be vital for success.
With the stakes high, the Patriots and Seahawks are poised for a memorable clash in Super Bowl LX.
