Wise signed a one-year deal with the Commanders on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Wise will head to Washington where he should have an ample opportunity to compete for a starting spot on the defensive line. He spent the 2024 season with the Patriots where he racked up 29 tackles (16 solo), with 5.0 sacks, across 15 games played.
Wise tallied 29 total tackles (16 solo), including 5.0 sacks, and three passes defended over 15 games in 2024. The veteran defensive end from Arkansas saw his tackle total drop significantly from 2023 to 2024 (25 less tackles); however, he played 195 fewer defensive snaps and appeared in one less game this season. Wise also tallied 0.5 more sacks than he did in 2023, tying Keion White for the most sacks on the Patriots' defense this year. Wise has now finished the final season of a four-year, $22 million deal signed with the Patriots in 2021, making him an unrestricted free agent this summer. He's proven to be an impactful pass rusher over the last three seasons (17.0 sacks in that time), so he's expected to be coveted by teams in need of pass-rush help this offseason.
Wise (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts. Wise will return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a foot injury. The 2017 fourth-round pick has logged 22 tackles (14 solo), including 5.0 sacks, and three passes defensed across 10 regular-season games. Wise and Daniel Ekuale will serve in rotational roles at defensive end with starters Christian Barmore and Keion White.
Wise (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts. Wise has been sidelined for the Patriots' last two games due to a foot injury he sustained in Week 10 against the Bears. He was able to practice all week -- albeit in a limited capacity -- and his status for Sunday's game will officially be announced when the Patriots release their inactives list approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Wise is unable to play, Daniel Ekuale would continue to serve as New England's top rotational defensive end behind Keion White and Christian Barmore.
Wise (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Wise has missed each of the Patriots' last two games after sustaining a foot injury in the team's Week 10 win over the Bears, but Wednesday's limited session suggests he could be nearing a return. The 30-year-old's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit up in Week 13, when the Patriots host the Colts.
Wise (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. A foot injury kept Wise sidelined for the Patriots' Week 11 loss to the Rams, but he did give himself a chance to play Week 12 after practicing in a limited capacity Friday. It wasn't enough for him to suit up Sunday, however, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 13 against the Colts on Sunday, Dec. 1. Daniel Ekuale will be the Patriots' top rotational defensive end against the Dolphins behind Christian Barmore and Keion White due to Wise being inactive.
Wise (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins. The 30-year-old defensive lineman upgraded to limited work Friday after opening New England's week of practice with back-to-back DNPs, suggesting that he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup. However, if Wise is sidelined due to his foot injury, Daniel Ekuale will likely serve as the Patriots' top rotational defensive end.
Wise (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Wise missed his first game of the season in New England's Week 11 loss to the Rams due to a foot injury, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he might be at risk of missing additional time. If the 30-year-old defensive lineman cannot upgrade to at least limited practice either Thursday or Friday, he'll likely miss his second consecutive game in the Week 12 matchup against the Dolphins.
Wise (foot) is inactive for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Rams, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports. Wise will miss his first game of the season after being unable to practice all week due to a foot injury. His absence will be a blow to New England's pass rush, as Wise had notched 3.0 sacks over his previous two contests. Eric Johnson may see more defensive snaps in Wise's stead.
