Goes on IR
Keene (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Keene tore his ACL in Saturday's exhibition win over the Giants and will now miss the entirety of the 2024 campaign. It's another tough break for the Virginia Tech product who has struggled to get his career on track since missing the 2021 campaign due to meniscus damage.

Plays 29 snaps Friday
Keene (undisclosed) was on the field for 29 snaps in Friday's 20-12 preseason victory over the Steelers, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: Keene is competing with the likes of Cade Stover and Teagan Quitoriano (calf) for a delph role at tight end. He played just one regular-season game for Houston last season, but the team opted to give him another look with a reserve/future contract.

Sticking with Texans
Houston signed Keene to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Keene played just one game with the Texans this season, but they apparently saw enough to give him a chance at a spot on their 53-man roster for 2024. He has good speed and agility, but he's only suited up for seven games since he was drafted in the third round by the Patriots in 2020.

Back to practice squad
Keene reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday.
Analysis: Keene was added to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bengals, failing to record any stats while playing eight snaps on offense and 14 with the special-teams unit. With Brevin Jordan (foot) uncertain for Houston's matchup with the Cardinals in Week 11, it's possible that Keene is once again asked to fill Jordan's spot.

May be ready for season debut
Keene was elevated to the Texans' active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Keene has spent the entire season on Houston's practice squad, but he was elevated to the active roster, with Brevin Jordan (foot) ruled out. There's a possibility Keene is inactive, but it appears as though he is headed toward his 2023 debut Sunday against the Bengals.

Resurfaces on practice squad
The Texans signed Keene to the practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: Houston cut Keene on Tuesday, but he now gets a chance to continue his development with the team as a practice-squad member. The 2020 third-round pick hasn't played a game since logging six appearances in his rookie season.

Cut by Houston
The Texans waived Keene on Tuesday.
Analysis: Keene was a third-round pick by the Patriots in 2020 but has been unable to find much of a footing in the NFL. It's possible he joins another practice squad in 2023.

Signs with Houston
Keene signed with the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: A third-round pick of the Patriots in the 2020 Draft, Keene never panned out in New England, catching three passes for 16 yards on five targets across six games as a rookie. He hasn't appeared in a regular-season contest since, bouncing around practice squads. Keene faces an uphill battle to make the Texans.

Cut before camp
Keene was waived by the Eagles on Wednesday.
Analysis: Philadelphia let the tight end go six months after signing him to a reserve/future contract. Keene spent time on the practice squad with the Eagles and Broncos during the 2022 season. The 2020 third-round selection of New England is now a free agent as training camps get underway.

Inks deal with Philadelphia
The Eagles signed Keene to a reserve/future contract Friday.
Analysis: Keene ended the regular season on Denver's practice squad, where he spent most of the 2022 campaign, but the Broncos opted not to sign him to a futures deal, making the tight end a free agent. The Virginia Tech product was drafted by the Patriots in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, and he caught three of five targets for 16 yards across six appearances as a rookie but hasn't appeared in a game since.

Returns to Denver
Keene signed with the Broncos' practice squad Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Keene previously spent time on Denver's practice squad this season, although it was only for three days. He'll now work to have a more productive second opportunity with the team.

Let go from practice squad
The Broncos cut Keene from their practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: Keene's stint with Denver's practice squad lasted all but three days, as he was signed Saturday and let go Tuesday. The 251-pounder has six games under his belt with the Patriots in 2020, where he caught three passes for 16 yards in that span. Keene will now look elsewhere to rejuvenate his NFL career.

Joins Denver's practice squad
Denver signed Keene to its practice squad Saturday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Keene started the season on the Eagles' practice squad after being a casualty of the Patriots' final roster cuts, but he was recently let go by Philadelphia and will get a new opportunity in Denver. The 2020 third-round pick caught three of five targets for 16 yards across six appearances during his rookie season, but he hasn't appeared in an NFL game since.

Loses spot
Keene was cut from the Eagles' practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: Keene joined the Eagles' practice squad after being a casualty of the Patriots' final roster cuts. The often-injured tight end has only played in six contests since getting selected in the third-round of the 2020 Draft. He'll work to find an opportunity with another team.

Joins Philly's practice squad
The Eagles signed Keene to their practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: Keene was drafted by the Patriots in the third-round of the 2020 Draft, but he often battled injuries and only recorded three catches across six regular-season appearances. He was waived by New England ahead of the 53-man roster deadline and will look to carve out a role on Philadelphia's practice squad.

Waived by Patriots
The Patriots have waived Keene, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: As Mike Reiss of ESPN.com notes, the 2020 third-rounder often battled injuries during his time with the Patriots. Now it looks like the Virginia Tech product -- who has three regular season catches in six game to his credit -- will look for a fresh start with a new team.

Back to full participation
Keene practiced primarily with the scout-team offense during New England's 11-on-11 team periods Thursday, Andrew Callahan of The Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Keene's participation in padded team drills Thursday seems to suggest he's fully recovered from an undisclosed injury, which kept him limited during voluntary OTAs and mandatory minicamp earlier this offseason. The tight end also worked with the team's kick coverage unit, which could prove valuable in ensuring his spot on the team's final roster heading into the regular season. Keene will compete with fellow 2020 third-round pick Devin Asiasi for the Patriots' No. 3 tight-end spot.

Remains limited with knee
Keene (knee) is still limited at mandatory minicamp, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Keene remains limited at practice while recovering from the meniscus surgery he had last August. His next major benchmark date will come late next month at training camp, when he'll presumably be ready to ramp up his activity. The tight enters the 2022 campaign as a depth piece behind Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith.

Still limited by knee
Keene was only able to practice in a limited capacity during New England's OTAs last week, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: It was presumed that Keene had recovered from the surgery he underwent last August for a meniscus injury that held him out for all of 2021, but evidently that's not the case. It's a concerning sign for Keene, who will need to compete for reps behind Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith. He'll need to participate in some capacity in training camp to be a lock to make the Patriots' 2022 roster.

Still in backup TE mix
Following the 2022 NFL Draft, Keene (knee) and Devin Asiasi remain in the Patriots' backup tight end mix, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: While neither of the two 2020 third-rounders are threats to supplant the team's top two tight ends, Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith, the Patriots would no doubt like to see added contributions from Keene and/or Asiasi. Since being taken 101st overall out of Virginia Tech, Keene has recorded just three catches for 16 yards in six regular-season NFL games. The 23-year-old spent last season on IR, but he's presumably past the knee injury that landed him there and will look to reclaim his roster spot…read more

Moves back to IR
Keene (knee) shifted back to IR from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
Analysis: Keene underwent season-ending surgery to repair a meniscus injury in August and was ruled out for the season. Now that he's cleared COVID protocols, he can return to rehabbing his knee at the Patriots' facilities to prepare for a return for the 2022 season.

Shifts to COVID-19 list
Keene (knee) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Analysis: Keene underwent season-ending surgery to repair a meniscus injury in August and isn't expected to play this season. However, after being placed in COVID-19 protocols following his positive test, he will have to produce back-to-back negative tests at least 24 hours apart or complete a 10-day quarantine (if unvaccinated) before he's able to return to team facilities.

Out for season
Keene (knee) recently underwent season-ending surgery to address a meniscus injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Patriots placed Keene on the preseason PUP list with an undisclosed injury before training camp kicked off, and the aforementioned procedure will send him to injured reserve for the entirety of the 2021 campaign. According to Rapoport, Keene had a similar surgery during his time at Virginia Tech, and he also spent time on IR last season with a knee issue. In any case, the 2020 third-rounder won't be a part of the Patriots offense this fall, leaving tight end to be covered by newcomers Jonnu…read more

Done for season with knee injury
The Patriots placed Keene on injured reserve Saturday after he recently underwent surgery to address meniscus damage to his knee, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network repots.
Analysis: Keene opened camp on the PUP list with the knee issue, and after he apparently didn't progress as the Patriots had hoped, he was sent in for the season-ending procedure. Despite facing a lack of established competition for reps as a rookie last season, the 2020 third-round pick was a major disappointment, compiling just three receptions for 16 yards across six games. With the offseason additions of Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith, Keene wasn't expected to have a major role on offense in 2021, even…read more

Shifts to PUP list
The Patriots placed Keene (undisclosed) on the PUP list Thursday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Keene can be activated from the PUP list at any time during training camp, but given that he's coming off an unimpressive three-catch rookie season, it will be somewhat concerning if he has to miss a significant number of practices. With Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith having joined New England's tight end corps in free agency, it will be pivotal for Keene to make the most of every opportunity he's given through training camp and the Patriots' preseason slate.

Three catches as rookie
Keene finished the 2020 season with three catches on five targets for 16 yards in six games.
Analysis: Meanwhile, fellow rookie Devin Asiasi logged two catches on seven targets for 39 yards yards and a TD in nine contests. Tight end was a big need for the Patriots heading into the 2020 NFL Draft, and when the team took Asiasi and Keene with third-round picks, it was hoped that the duo could make an immediate splash in the offense. Neither player did, however, and the duo's fantasy upside in 2021 is tied to what offseason personnel changes are made, in particular at TE and QB.

Limited snaps Monday
Keene logged just three snaps on offense in Monday night's 38-9 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: In five games this season, Keene has caught just two passes for 10 yards. Meanwhile, fellow rookie third-round tight end Devin Asiasi is still looking for his first NFL catch. Both players will need to have strong showings in training camp next year in order to gain any attention in 2021 re-draft leagues.

Catches one pass Sunday
Keene caught one of his two targets for two yards in Sunday's 22-12 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Keene was on the field for 29 of the Patriots' 55 snaps on offense Sunday, while fellow rookie tight end Devin Asiasi was out there for 27 snaps en route to logging one target. Neither player has made a fantasy impact thus far, though it's possible that Keene may be a bit more involved over New England's last two games, with the team out of playoff contention and perhaps inclined to get more of a look at some of its younger players during that span.

In lineup for Week 13
Keene is active for the Patriots' Week 13 matchup against the Chargers, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Heading into a matchup against the Charger's 10th-ranked pass defense, the third-round rookie has one catch for eight yards on the season, with Week 7 marking his lone game appearance. Keene resided on IR from Nov. 10 to Dec. 5 because of a knee injury, but now he'll work in tandem with Ryan Izzo as the only active tight ends for New England.

Moves off IR
Keene (knee) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The 2020 third-round pick will make his return to the field after missing the last five games with a knee injury. Keene has played just 24 offensive snaps in his young career to date, but it's possible the rookie tight end might be pressed into action if Ryan Izzo (hamstring/hand) is unable to play Sunday.

Designated for return
Keene (knee) returned to practice Wednesday, opening the three-week window for the tight end to be activated from IR, Mike Reiss of ESPN NFL Nation reports.
Analysis: Keene can be removed from IR whenever the team deems him ready, but he'll need to show that he's good to go in practice first. Given New England's lack of tight end usage in the passing game this season, Keene's unlikely to make much of an impact even once deemed healthy.

Heads to IR
The Patriots will move Keene (knee) to injured reserve Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Keene will be sidelined for at least the Patriots' next three games as a result of his move to IR. The rookie third-round pick hadn't seen a major role behind starter Ryan Izzo through the first half of New England's schedule, but his absence weakens the Patriots' depth at the position nonetheless. The Patriots added reinforcement at tight end earlier this week, when the team claimed Jordan Thomas off waivers from Houston.

Out for MNF
Keene (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: Keene didn't travel with the team for Monday's matchup, leaving just Ryan Izzo (hamstring), who is listed as questionable, as the only remaining tight end on New England's roster. Perhaps Rashod Berry, who is on the practice squad, will be elevated. Otherwise, Izzo will handle a hefty workload if he's able to suit up.

Listed as questionable for Week 9
Keene (knee) did not travel with the team to New York, but he remains questionable for a Monday night matchup against the Jets.
Analysis: With an extra day to work with, there seemingly is a chance Keene may be able to take private transport and still suit up for kickoff. Keene made his NFL debut Week 7 against the 49ers, catching his lone target for an eight-yard gain. Last Sunday against Buffalo he was ruled out with the same knee issue, and he's seemingly in danger of missing his second straight.

Handed questionable tag
Keene (knee) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Jets, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Keene strung together three limited practices this week, offering a good chance for the rookie third-rounder to return to action for Monday's divisional tilt. It's noteworthy that he practiced with a knee brace, and he could utilize similar support. Top tight end Ryan Izzo (hamstring) is also considered questionable.

Another limited session
Keene (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Keene was spotted with a large brace on his left knee during Friday's practice. He's trending in the right direction after sitting out last week against the Bills, but there's a good chance that he's handed at least a questionable tag following Saturday's practice. The rookie third-rounder has played just one game this season, and Ryan Izzo (hamstring) is the only other tight end on the active roster.

The rookie third-round pick played 24 of 52 offensive snaps during his pro debut Week 7, in which he caught his only target for eight yards.

Catches one pass in pro debut
Keene brought in his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 33-6 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: In his NFL debut, Keene logged 24 (of a possible 52) snaps on offense, which was actually one more than starter Ryan Izzo. Keene could make a fantasy impact down the road, but so far this season New England's tight ends have been afterthoughts in the team's passing attack.

Set to make NFL debut
Keene is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Fellow rookie tight end Devin Asiasi was made a healthy scratch Sunday, which paves the way for Keene to make his NFL debut in Week 7. Though Keene posted modest volume while at Virginia Tech, his per-target efficiency was notable thanks to his strong work after the catch. A wait and-see-approach is in order here from a fantasy perspective, but perhaps Keene can provide the Patriots offense with a lift in his first game action as a pro.

Officially out Sunday
Keene (coach's decision) won't suit up in Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Overcomes neck injury
Keene (neck) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Analysis: Keene missed the first two games of the season due to a lingering neck injury, but it now looks as though he's back to full health. If the rookie tight end manages to avoid any setbacks and make his debut versus the Raiders on Sunday, he'll mix into a tight end rotation led by Ryan Izzo and that also includes fellow rookie Devin Asiasi.

Keene (neck) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Keene was a limited participant in Friday's practice after having previously logged back-to-back full sessions.

Keene (neck) practiced fully Wednesday.
Analysis: Keene was limited in practice last Thursday and Friday, eventually getting a questionable designation before being among the Patriots' inactive players for Sunday's win over the Dolphins. With a full session under his belt, the 2020 third-round pick can set his sights on making his professional debut this weekend in Seattle. It'll be interesting to see if Keene can break into a tight-end rotation led by Ryan Izzo and supplemented by Devin Asiasi, assuming he's active.

Keene (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Keene popped up on the injury report Thursday, and his status is in question for his NFL debut. The rookie third-rounder is listed as the No. 3 TE on New England's depth chart behind Ryan Izzo and fellow rookie Devin Asiasi, so he's worth keeping an eye on if he plays in this new-look offense.

Keene (neck) was limited at practice Thursday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Keene was a Thursday addition to the Patriots' injury report, but more will be known about his Week 1 status Friday. The third-rounder's versatility figures to be an asset to the team in 2020, but it remains to be seen how heavily Keene will be targeted early on, with fellow rookie Devin Asiasi also in the mix, along with returnee Ryan Izzo.

Gaining ground
Keene has "made up a lot of ground recently" on his fellow rookie tight end, Devin Asiasi, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Asiasi, the team's other rookie third-round tight end, has been limited by a foot/ankle issue over the past few days, which has afforded Keene some added opportunities in practice. The Virginia Tech product's versatility figures to be an asset in the Patriots offense, but we'd expect him to share snaps and targets with Asiasi out of the gate in 2020, a context that initially limits the duo's fantasy lineup reliability.
