The Patriots have lost three wide receivers to injuries in their last two games and we know that two of them won’t be playing in Denver on Sunday.
Julian Edelman is out with a broken foot and Aaron Dobson has been placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury, but we’ll have to wait another day or two to find out if Danny Amendola will be in the lineup. Amendola was a limited participant in practice for the second straight day on Friday and has been listed as questionable for the game against the Broncos.
Amendola hurt his knee in last week’s victory over the Bills and reports were that he wasn’t expected to miss an extended period of time, something that would certainly be true if he plays this week. It would also be helpful to a Patriots offense that’s run short of experienced options at wideout due to the recent run of injuries, which includes the hamstring issue that has led to Keshawn Martin drawing a questionable tag.
Linebacker Jamie Collins is doubtful to play after making his first practice appearance in a few weeks on Friday and cornerback Justin Coleman joined Edelman as players ruled out for this weekend.
