Updates on Dugger, White and Austin

The New England Patriots dropped their game of the week on Thursday, and again veteran safety Kyle Dugger was listed as a non-participant due to an ankle injury.

Linebacker Christian Elliss was the other name on that list ahead of Sunday's Week 10 game against the Chicago Bears.

The Patriots had six players as limited participants, including Keion White, Vederian Lowe, Daniel Ekuale and Marte Mapu. Injuries plagued the Patriots all season along the offensive line and defensive side of the ball.

They could face another tough battle on the road against the Bears this week. Here are both teams' full injury reports:

Update on Alex Austin's injury

Cornerback Alex Austin being fully involved means he may have a chance to get back on the field on Sunday. He is a young player with some upside as a rotation player in the defensive backfield.

Keion White injury update

Keion White was a key contributor on the Patriots' defensive front. A knee injury left him with limited participation on Thursday, but there was no mention of the injury actually ruling him out of this week's game. It's still worth keeping a close eye on.

Kyle Dugger injury update

One player who could be at risk of missing the game is veteran safety Kyle Dugger. Having to do back-to-back training sessions before a game is not a good sign. We'll see what his status is on Friday, but it could be another game with Jaylin Hawkins and Dell Pettus in the defensive backfield.
