The New England Patriots had a scare at Saturday's rookie minicamp practice after rookie edge rusher Quintayvious Hutchins went down with an apparent injury.
Hutchins, a seventh-round draft pick out of Boston College, was one of two edge rushers that the Patriots selected in the 2026 NFL Draft. The team also traded up in the second round to select former Illinois standout Gabe Jacas.
Hutchins was ultimately able to walk off the field under his own power, but he did not return to practice.
The Patriots went into the draft severely lacking in depth at edge rusher. There was hope that the arrival of both Jacas and Hutchins could add a youthful spark to the unit. Harold Landry III and Dre'Mont Jones are currently the top two veteran options. The team also has Elijah Ponder, Bradyn Swinson and Jesse Luketa.
Hutchins had 72 tackles, 5.5 sacks, nine tackles for a loss, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble in his four-year collegiate run with the Eagles.
