Mike Reiss reports that the New England Patriots have placed second-round pass rusher Gabe Jacas on the physically unable to perform list after he signed his rookie deal. Jacas underwent a knee procedure that delayed his participation in rookie minicamp. Head Coach Mike Vrabel expressed cautious optimism about Jacas’s recovery but did not provide a timeline for his return. Jacas, drafted 55th overall in 2026, had an impressive collegiate career at Illinois, earning Second Team All-Big Ten honors.
