Head coach Mike Vrabel expressed confidence in Landry's rehabilitation efforts and his ability to return to the level he displayed before the injury. After recording 6.5 sacks before the setback, Landry struggled to 2.0 sacks after Week 12, forcing the Patriots to rely on other edge rushers like K'Lavon Chaisson and Anfernee Jennings, who have since departed.
With the team hoping Landry's recovery helps offset the losses of those teammates, they are also bolstering the edge position with the signing of Dre'Mont Jones.
