Records 90 tackles
Bentley finished the 2020 season with 90 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 13 games.
Analysis: In his third NFL season, the 2018 fifth-rounder saw regular action at inside linebacker, when healthy. Bentley's 2021 fantasy upside hinges largely on what moves the Patriots make to shore up their linebacker corps, as well as whether veteran Dont'a Hightower -- who opted out this past season -- returns to the mix.

All clear for Week 17 finale
Bentley (shoulder) is active heading into Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: Bentley's shoulder injury forced him to miss his third game of the year Monday night against the Bills, but he's powered through the issue in time for New England's season finale. The 24-year-old enters Sunday's divisional tilt having already established career highs in tackles (83), QB hits (three), sacks (1.5) and pass deflections (two).

Considered questionable
Bentley (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: Bentley's shoulder injury held him out of last week's loss to the Bills. He was subsequently limited at practice all week and looking like a true game-time decision. Anfernee Jennings would presumably draw another start at inside linebacker should Bentley ultimately have to sit out.

Unavailable Monday
Bentley (shoulder) is inactive for Monday's game versus Buffalo.
Analysis: The 24-year-old picked up the injury during last week's matchup with Miami and will miss at least one game as a result. Anfernee Jennings could start at inside linebacker for New England in Bentley's absence.

Deemed questionable for MNF
Bentley (shoulder) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Bills, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Bentley was a limited participant in practice all week after suffering a shoulder injury in last Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. The 24-year-old has 83 tackles through 12 games. Anfernee Jennings (shoulder) is the next man up at inside linebacker. He's also considered questionable, so the team may need to call up a linebacker from the practice squad.

Exits Week 15
Bentley (arm) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Miami.
Analysis: It's unclear how Bentley suffered the injury, but he was forced to exit the contest in the second quarter. The Purdue product has had an outstanding season, racking up 79 tackles (45 solo), 1.5 sacks and two pass breakups through 11 games. As long as Bentley is sidelined, Anfernee Jennings is expected to see an increased snap count.

Ready for TNF
Bentley (groin) is officially active for Thursday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Bentley popped up on the injury report this week after dealing with the lingering groin issue, but he wasn't in danger of missing the contest. Despite seeing just 35 percent of defensive snaps in last week's win over the Chargers, Bentley is expected to handle a starting role at inside linebacker for the game.

Pops up on injury report
Bentley (groin) was a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate.
Analysis: Bentley missed a pair of games earlier this season due to a groin injury, and it may be lingering, as he logged a season-low 35 percent snap share in Sunday's 45-0 win over the Chargers. With a short week, his status is uncertain for Thursday's game against the Rams. Anfernee Jennings likely will step in if Bentley can't go.

Team's top tackler by wide margin
Bentley registered 13 total tackles during Sunday's 20-17 win against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Not only did Bentley have six more tackles than the Patriots' second-leading player, Terez Hall, but he also saved some of his stops for key moments in Sunday's contest. The 24-year-old helped turn away Kenyan Drake at New England's one-yard line on a 4th-and-goal while the clock expired in the second quarter. Later, he combined with Hall to stop Drake again on a 3rd-and-2 on Arizona's final drive of the game, forcing a 45-yard Zane Gonzalez attempt that would be no good. With nine starts to…read more

Ready for Week 11
Bentley (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: The 24-year-old was sidelined the past two games by the groin injury, but he'll be back on the field for Week 11. Besides the game in which he suffered the injury, Bentley has played at least 80 percent of defensive snaps when available for the Patriots this season.

Won't face Ravens
Bentley (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Bentley was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup after practicing in a limited fashion all week, but he'll ultimately need more time before retaking the field. Terez Hall and Cassh Maluia could see an uptick in defensive snaps with Bentley out.

Considered questionable for SNF
Bentley (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Ravens.
Analysis: Bentley was able to practice in a limited fashion all week, so he has a good chance to return to action after missing last week's close win over the Jets. The third-year linebacker out of Purdue has made seven starts this season and racked up 45 tackles, 1.5 sacks and two pass breakups in the process.

Won't play Monday
Bentley (groin) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: The 24-year-old was originally considered questionable for Monday's contest after practicing as a limited participant, but he's now been ruled out. Cassh Maluia is expected to start at inside linebacker in Bentley's place.

Hampered by groin injury
Bentley (groin) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Bentley exited last week's game against the Bills with a groin injury, and he's been limited through the first two practices this week. He has one more practice Saturday to upgrade to full participation, otherwise, he'll carry an injury tag into Monday's divisional tilt against the Jets. Cassh Maluia is expected to start at inside linebacker if Bentley can't go.

Managing groin issue
Bentley exited Sunday's loss to the Bills due to a groin injury.
Analysis: Bentley totaled five tackles and a sack before exiting during the second half. The 24-year-old was considered questionable to return, and the game ended about 10 minutes after the injury was announced.

Records career high in stops
Bentley posted 12 tackles and a half-sack in Sunday's 18-12 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Bently was named the Patriots' starting inside linebacker during training camp, and he got off to a modest start to 2020, recording at least four tackles but no more than six stops in each of the first four games. The third-year pro exploded Sunday, though, leading the team in tackles and reaching a new career high in the process. He had plenty of opportunities since the Broncos' running backs carried 32 times, so this performance could be tough to replicate in a different game script.

Path to playing time opens up
Bentley is in line to see more action in the Patriots defense during the upcoming season, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: With Jamie Collins, Kyle Van Noy and Elandon Roberts having left via free agency and Donta Hightower having opted out of this season, Bentley looks primed for more reps at inside linebacker in 2020. Most notably, he'll be tasked with replacing Hightower as the Patriots' defensive play-caller. Bentley, who turns 24 later this month, logged 44 tackles in his second season with New England in 2019, but he's bound to see a spike in production in his expanded role and could emerge as a reliable IDP…read more

All clear Sunday
Bentley (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Bentley logged just limited practice throughout the week, and his status was uncertain. Now that he's officially healthy, Bentley should be a huge boost to the linebacker depth for Week 14.

Officially questionable
Bentley is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a knee injury.
Analysis: Bentley was limited at practice all week and is looking like a true game-time decision. The Patriots are thin at linebacker depth, so Shilique Calhoun could potentially be called to back up inside linebacker as well as the outside should Bentley ultimately be unable to go.
