New England tight end Eli Raridon had a chance to return for Week 4, but he was not confirmed to play: the Patriots listed him as questionable for Sunday’s October 4 game at Buffalo after he was limited in all three practices with a thigh injury. The team’s final report, published October 2, left his availability uncertain.
What Raridon’s Week 4 injury report says
The Patriots listed Raridon with a thigh injury and marked him limited on Wednesday, September 30, Thursday, October 1, and Friday, October 2. The team defines limited participation as “Less than 100% of a player’s normal repetitions.” His final game status was questionable, which the Patriots define as “Uncertain as to whether the player will play.” New England’s Week 4 injury report did not confirm he would be active.
What questionable means for Sunday
Questionable indicates uncertainty, not a guarantee that Raridon will play or sit. His three limited practices show he participated, but the report does not establish the injury’s severity, a recovery timeline, or his eventual game-day status. The Patriots-Bills game was scheduled for Sunday, October 4, at 1:00 p.m. EDT; check the team’s inactives announcement for the final decision.
How Raridon could fit if he is cleared
CBS Sports, citing Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston, reported that Raridon would slot behind Hunter Henry and ahead of Cameron Latu and Tanner Arkin if cleared. That is conditional depth-chart context, not confirmation of his availability or a projection of snaps or targets. CBS Sports’ report described a possible role rather than a guaranteed workload.

Why last week does not settle this week’s outcome
In Week 3, Raridon was questionable with a thigh injury after being limited Wednesday and missing practice Thursday and Friday. The Patriots later listed him inactive against Jacksonville, according to the Week 3 injury report and the team’s inactives analysis. That is relevant context, but his Week 4 practice participation differed, and last week’s inactive status does not determine whether he would play against Buffalo.
