He was not activated to the 53-man roster, meaning he won't play Sunday with the team announcing he was downgraded to out.
Should the Patriots advance, he could still return next week. The Patriots have cornerbacks Christian Gonzalez , Carlton Davis III, Marcus Jones , Charles Woods and Kobee Minor available for the game.
Earlier, they elevated DT Leonard Taylor III and WR/returner Jeremiah Webb from the practice squad.
