Ready to rock
Wallace (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Wallace was activated off injured reserve Dec. 27 and practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week, so he's now in line to play in the Patriots' regular-season finale Sunday. Now that the 2024 third-round pick from Penn State is back at full health, he's expected to serve as one of New England's top reserve tackles in Week 18.

Taken off IR on Friday
Wallace (ankle) was activated off injured reserve Friday and is questionable for Saturday's Week 17 matchup against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Wallace had been on IR since Oct. 4 due to an ankle injury. Prior to getting hurt, he had played in four contests, making one start. If Wallace is active Saturday, he'll likely work in a rotational role.
Dec 13, 2024
Won't return in Week 15
Wallace (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
The rookie offensive lineman from Penn State was designated to return from injured reserve Monday after sustaining an ankle injury in early October, but it now appears he'll need to wait another week to make his return. Wallace will remain on injured reserve, with Vederian Lowe (shoulder) or Demontrey Jacobs likely to serve as the Patriots' top left tackle in Week 15.

Takes next step
Wallace (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wallace has been sidelined and on IR since Oct. 4, but he'll now be able to return to practice. The Penn State product will have 21 days to work with the team before needing to be placed back on the 53-man roster or return to injured reserve.

Officially placed on IR
The Patriots placed Wallace (ankle) on injured reserve Friday.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Jerod Mayo told reporters earlier Friday that Wallace would be placed on injured reserve, but this move made it official. The rookie tackle will miss New England's next four contests, with his earliest possible return coming in Week 9, when the Patriots take on the Titans.
Oct 4, 2024
Set to hit IR
Head coach Jerod Mayo told reporters Friday that Wallace (ankle) will be placed on injured reserve, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Wallace hasn't officially been placed on IR yet; however, he's set to miss an extended period of time after sustaining an ankle injury during the Patriots' Week 4 loss to the 49ers. Vederian Lowe could start at left tackle Sunday after missing the Patriots' last two contests with a knee issue, but if he's unable to go as well, expect Demontrey Jacobs to protect Jacoby Brissett's blindside.

In walking boot
Wallace was using crutches and wearing a boot on his left foot after Sunday's 30-13 loss to the 49ers, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The offensive tackle exited Sunday's game with an apparent ankle injury and did not return. Wallace was already replacing starting left tackle Vederian Lowe (knee). Zachary Thomas filled in for Wallace on Sunday.

Ruled out vs. San Francisco
Wallace (ankle) will not return to Sunday's game against the 49ers, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports.

Heads to sidelines
Wallace (ankle) has exited Sunday's game against the 49ers, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Wallace's exit is a further blow to the Patriots' offensive line, especially at left tackle. With Chukwuma Okorafor (undisclosed) now on the exempt/left squad list and Vederian Lowe (knee) out as well, the Patriots will need to turn to Demontrey Jacobs or Zachary Thomas at left tackle.
