Brenden Schooler Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Bills vs Patriots game on Dec 14, 2025 with our National Football League injury report.Nov 29, 2025
Out for Week 13
Schooler (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Giants, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
The Texas product logged consecutive DNPs to begin the Patriots' week of practice after sustaining an ankle injury in the Week 12 win over the Bengals, so his absence Monday night comes as no surprise. Expect Dell Pettus to operate as New England's top reserve safety while Schooler is sidelined in Week 13.

DNP Wednesday
Schooler (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Schooler was injured in the first half of Sunday's 26-20 victory over the Bengals and did not return to the game. The safety being unable to practice leaves his status for Monday night's contest against the Giants in question.
Nov 23, 2025
Sidelined for rest of Week 12
Schooler (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's clash against Cincinnati, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Schooler was injured in the first half and was ruled out early in the third period. He's played almost exclusively on special teams this season, so his absence will be mainly felt within that unit.
Nov 23, 2025
Questionable to return Week 12
Schooler is dealing with an ankle injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
The Patriots announced early in the second quarter that Schooler is questionable to return. If he's unable to get back on the field, his absence would mostly affect New England's special-teams unit, as Schooler has logged just three defensive snaps through 11 contests this season.
Oct 27, 2024
Available Sunday
Schooler (illness) is active for Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
An illness landed Schooler on the injury report with a questionable tag Saturday, but he's been able to recover well enough to take the field one day later. Schooler typically plays almost exclusively on special teams, but there's a chance he could see some work on defense Sunday with felow safety Kyle Dugger (ankle) sitting out.
Oct 26, 2024
Late addition to injury report
Schooler was added to the Patriots' injury report Saturday due to an illness and is questionable to play in Sunday's Week 8 game against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Schooler has yet to play a defensive snap this season, but he's a core special-teamer for New England, so his absence would impact the team in that regard. The Texas product has logged six tackles on the campaign.
Jun 10, 2023
Participates at OTAs
Schooler was taking part in kickoff coverage drills during the Patriots' final OTA session Friday, Taylor Kyles of CLNS Media reports.
ANALYSIS
Schooler, who played exclusively on special teams, missed the final game of the 2022 season with a hip injury. He appears to be past that injury as he was seen practicing with other Patriots' special teamers Matthew Slater and Mack Wilson.
Jan 8, 2023
Not suiting up Sunday
Schooler (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Schooler, who posted back-to-back limited practices in both of Thursday's and Friday's sessions due to a hip concern, has since been deemed inactive for the Week 18 matchup versus Buffalo. The 25-year-old has strictly operated as a special-teams contributor this season, so his absence shouldn't alter New England's defensive game plan.
Dec 24, 2022
Suffers shoulder injury
Schooler left Saturday's game against the Bengals due to a shoulder injury.
ANALYSIS
A core special teamer for the Patriots, Schooler has tallied 12 tackles and recovered two fumbles in 14 appearances prior to Saturday. His return to Week 16 action is in question.
