The hamstring injury Chad Ochocinco suffered this week in practice will reportedly keep him from playing Sunday against the Eagles.

Greg A. Bedard of the Boston Globe reports Ochocinco will not play. He was added to the injury report as questionable after missing practice on Friday.

Ocho won’t get a chance to add to his 11 catches on the season. There was some talk he was turning the corner after a big gainer against the Jets, but he barely played in the second half of that game because he’s not part of New England’s hurry up offense. Ochocinco was invisible last week against the Chiefs.

Thing are getting worse for Ochocinco in New England before they are getting better. He’s had two catches since October 9.

Taylor Price could get a chance to play more Sunday with Ochocinco out. Price has an opportunity to show he deserves more snaps in favor of Ochocincio in the rotation.
