Mapu (calf) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Mapu was designated to return earlier this week after missing the mandatory four games on IR. However, the Sacramento State product is still considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Shifting to safety
Mapu is listed on the Patriots' roster as a safety, and he could win the starting job at free safety in training camp, Paul Perillo of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
A third-round pick in 2023 out of Sacramento State, Mapu was mainly deployed as an outside linebacker as a rookie when he saw snaps on defense. His speed could be more effective in the secondary, however, and new head coach Jerod Mayo and defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington view him as an option to fill the open starting job at free safety. Veteran Jaylinn Hawkins, who was signed to a one-year deal in March, could be Mapu's biggest competition in camp for the role.
