The New England Patriots announced five inactives for their Week 2 game against the Seattle Seahawks, with offensive guard Sidy Sow being the only starter sidelined. Sow's ankle injury occurred during the preseason and also kept him out of Week 1's victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Despite concerns over their roster, the Patriots aim to build on their surprising 2024 season opener win. With new head coach Jerod Mayo at the helm, the team seeks to improve after a dismal 4-13 season last year, which led to the departure of longtime coach Bill Belichick.
