Henry (rest) is listed as questionable on Friday's injury report ahead of Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8.

Henry was estimated as DNP on Wednesday, was then listed as limited Thursday and finished the week with a designation of full. His injury tag is simply "rest," so not much should be read into the initial questionable label -- in fact, the Patriots appeared to play it safe with their statuses this week, tagging all nine players (including the four who were deemed full participants Friday and the three who were DNPs all week) as questionable. There's nothing at this point to suggest that Henry is actually in any danger of missing the Super Bowl, and next week's New England practice reports should provide much more insight into the health of the roster ahead of the title game versus Seattle.

Jennings (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Super Bowl LX on Sunday, Feb. 8.

Jennings developed a hamstring issue Thursday and was downgraded to a non-participant in Friday's practice due to the issue. The running back and kick returner has remained on injured reserve since Dec. 13 due to a hamstring issue, and he likely will not be activated for the Super Bowl even with the extra week of recuperation. D'Ernest Johnson was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for last Sunday's AFC Championship Game and will likely be elevated once again to fill Jennings' role as the No. 3 running back for Super Bowl LX.

Hollins (abdomen) is estimated as questionable on Friday's injury report for Super Bowl LX versus Seattle on Sunday, Feb.8.

Hollins returned from a four-week absence to play in last Sunday's AFC Championship Game against Denver and caught both of his targets for 51 yards. This week, Hollins was estimated as limited Wednesday and Thursday before being deemed a full participant Friday. His designation of questionable heading into this weekend is a nod to how the Patriots would tag him if the team was playing this Sunday -- which it's obviously not -- so a better understanding of Hollins' chances of playing in the Super Bowl should come to light with his practice participation levels next week. Unless he suffered a setback against the Broncos, the expectation should be that Hollins will be available for the title game.

Darnold (oblique) doesn't have a designation for Super Bowl LX versus the Patriots on Sunday, Feb. 8, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Prior to both of Seattle's first two playoff games, Darnold was listed as questionable due to a left oblique injury but still suited up, combining for 470 passing yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in those contests. He remained listed as limited on all three practice reports of this week, but he seemingly has a clean bill of health before the final contest of the campaign.

Maye (right shoulder/illness) is listed as questionable for Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8.

With one week of Super Bowl prep in the books, Maye capped it with a missed practice Friday due to an illness, which followed back-to-back limited listings due to a right shoulder injury. The second issue mostly has been downplayed by coach Mike Vrabel and Maye himself, but his status still bears watching now that he's dealing with multiple health concerns. The Patriots won't post another injury report until next Wednesday, at which point Maye's availability for the final game of the season could have more clarity.

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said Maye did not practice Friday due to a combination of illness and his right shoulder injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Maye managed a limited practice session Thursday, which included taking part in throwing drills, but his activity level has now been downgraded due to the addition of an ailment. He was also listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report. Vrabel confirmed that if not for his new illness, Maye would have taken part in practice Friday, per Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com. As such, it doesn't appear that there's any reason for elevated worry about Maye's health after Vrabel stated Thursday that there's "not much" concern about the status of the starting quarterback's shoulder. New England will have one more full week of practice to ramp up Maye's rep count in advance of Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8.

Maye (shoulder) is not present at the early portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Maye was officially listed as limited at Thursday's practice, as well as on Wednesday's estimated report, though when speaking Thursday head coach Mike Vrabel said there's "not much" concern about the starting quarterback's right shoulder injury. After Thursday's session, Maye said he did take part in throwing drills and is "looking forward to trying to get some more reps here and there and feel it out," seemingly indicating New England's plan is for him to ramp up his activity level next week in advance of Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks. The release of Friday's official injury report will confirm whether or not Maye was able to get in any on-field reps.

Jennings (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice.

Jennings cleared the league's concussion protocol last week, but he now is dealing with a hamstring issue that limited him during Thursday's session. The Patriots don't play until Sunday, Feb. 8 against the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX, so that gives Jennings additional time to recover from his injury.

Hollins (abdomen) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Hollins landed on injured reserve in December due to an abdominal injury, but he was activated off IR ahead of the Patriots' victory over the Broncos during Sunday's AFC Championship Game, when he caught both of his targets for 51 yards. He likely will continue to have his practice reps limited ahead of Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8 in order to avoid an aggravation of the injury.

The Steelers signed Perry to a reserve/future contract Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Perry has spent each of the last two years on the Broncos' practice squad but did not see any game action over that span. The 2023 sixth-rounder's only regular-season action came in his rookie year with the Saints, when he caught 12 passes (on 18 targets) for 246 yards and four touchdowns across 10 games. Perry will be on the Steelers' 90-man roster at the start of the offseason, which will allow him to participate in OTAs and minicamp.
