Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss): Patriots injury update: Marcus Bryant, ankle, won't return tonight.
Bryant, a 2025 seventh-round pick out of Missouri, was tended to in the popup medical tent after staying down on a play, with 2026 sixth-round pick Dametrious Crownover entering at right tackle in his place. Beat reporter Mike Reiss confirmed after the injury that the ankle issue would end Bryant's night.
The Patriots are evaluating depth along the line ahead of cutdown week, and losing a young tackle for any stretch adds to that math.
