Outside Linebacker · New England Patriots

Harold Landry III

No. 2 · 9th season

Harold Landry can't practice yet, and New England is already watching the clock

Training camp is supposed to be a fresh start. For Harold Landry, it's beginning from the sideline.

Landry is a linebacker the New England Patriots were counting on this year. He missed work during the team's offseason practice sessions, and when players reported to camp on Tuesday, he was one of three not yet cleared to take the field. The team placed him on the physically-unable-to-perform list, which means he's officially sidelined until he's medically cleared to rejoin his teammates.

That's not a minor thing at the start of a new season. The first days of camp are when a player sets their rhythm, builds chemistry with the defense around them, and shows the coaches what they're working with. Missing that window doesn't end anything, but it shrinks it. Whatever is keeping Landry off the field, it's now a storyline that follows him into the season.
