Patriots Release Final Injury Report Vs. Bills… Edelman, Six Others Questionable

The New England Patriots have a road game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. We have the official injury report for the Patriots, and seven player are listed as questionable. Wide receiver Julian Edelman is one of them.

Edelman left the Week 3 game against the New York Jets due to a chest injury. However, he was a limited participants in the Patriots three practices this week.

Linebacker Dont’a Hightower (shoulder), running back Rex Burkhead (foot), defensive end Michael Bennett (shoulder), offensive tackle Marshall Newhouse (illness), tight end Matt LaCosse (ankle) and safety Nate Ebner (groin) also are questionable.

The Buffalo Bills have also released their final injury report.

In every prediction Mike Reiss has made, the Patriots turn out to be the ultimate winners. When it comes to Sunday’s game, he said, “Sony Michel will lead the way on offense for New England, as the Patriots’ running game will find its groove after three outings in which the attack has trended more toward the pass.”

ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques agrees with Reiss.

“Josh Allen has yet to turn in four quarters of mistake-free football this season, but he’ll need to against the Patriots,” he reported. “A large part of his game is his ability to improvise. Whether he’ll be able to make smart improvisational decisions against an opportunistic New England defense will determine how successful the Bills’ offense will be Sunday.”

Gregg Rosenthal says the Patriots will win this game, and he is pretty convinced about that.

“The Patriots’ offense is also quietly looking for stability. The team’s makeshift offensive line has struggled in the running game, especially with veteran Shaq Mason starting the year in a slump. Receiver Phillip Dorsett (92.9 percent catch rate on 14 targets for 187 yards and three scores) has been a more reliable target than Josh Gordon (55 percent catch rate on 20 targets for 175 yards and one score). And Bills coach Sean McDermott has held the Patriots to 25 points or less in three of four meetings, which has included times when New England’s offense was peaking. Add it all up, and this looks like a game of punts, field position and turnovers. Between Allen and Tom Brady, it’s not hard to pick which quarterback is more likely to problem-solve as the day wears on.”
