Rookie DT Farmer Out for Super Bowl LX
8 Feb
Summary
- Joshua Farmer, a rookie defensive tackle, will miss Super Bowl LX due to a hamstring injury.
- Farmer logged 20 tackles and two run stuffs in 13 games this season.
- Another rookie, Terrell Jennings, also won't play due to concussion protocol.
New England Patriots rookie defensive tackle Joshua Farmer has been ruled out of Super Bowl LX against the Seattle Seahawks. Farmer has been sidelined with a hamstring injury, which led to him being placed on Injured Reserve earlier in the season. Despite practicing with the team throughout the week, the Patriots opted not to activate him for the championship game.
Farmer's rookie season included logging 20 tackles, two run stuffs, one pass defended, and a fumble recovery across 13 games. The 23-year-old's season is now officially over. He demonstrated enough potential for Patriots fans to anticipate his contribution in 2026, potentially carving out a larger role as an interior defensive tackle. He was a fourth-round draft choice out of Florida State.
Farmer is not the only Patriots rookie who will miss the Super Bowl. Second-year running back Terrell Jennings was also not activated from concussion protocol. The Patriots' interior defensive line for the Super Bowl will consist of Milton Williams, Christian Barmore, Khyiris Tonga, Cory Durden, and Leonard Taylor III.
