Patriots Release Injury Report Ahead Of Game Vs. Dolphins, 6 Limited

The New England Patriots are playing their final game of the regular seasons against the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins aren’t considered a threat for the team, and New England will play with their key players on the field. Quarterback Tom Brady will play, and the same applies to other key players as confirmed by the latest injury report.

Edge rusher Shilique Calhoun missed Thursday’s New England Patriots session due to an illness, as noted in the Patriots’ latest injury report.

Six other players were limited participants in the Patriots’ second-to-last practice of the regular season. New England will have another practice Friday before playing the Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium in Week 17.

DID NOT PARTICIPATE

LB Shilique Calhoun, Illness

LIMITED PARTICIPATION

LB Ja’Whaun Bentley, Knee

OT Marcus Cannon, Ankle

LB Jamie Collins, Shoulder

WR Julian Edelman, Knee / Shoulder

CB Jonathan Jones, Groin

CB Jason McCourty, Groin

Calhoun has played in all but one game in the regular season. He had nine tackles and three quarterback hits in 252 snaps as a situational pass rusher. Jones missed last Saturday’s game against the Buffalo Bills. It was a win for the team. McCourty and Cannon had to leave that game. TB12 said he sustained a “new” elbow injury in the game against Buffalo, but his name wasn’t added to the injury report this week.

New England is expected to finish the season with a win. The Dolphins aren’t the strongest team in the NFL, and everyone knows it. Their numbers confirm this claim. The team is packed with talented players, but they can’t build chemistry on the field. There’s something wrong with their game planning.
This win will give the Patriots an advantage in the next few weeks. Things are getting really hot despite the freezing temperatures, and the Patriots nation can’t wait for the team to play the Super Bowl. Again. It smells like success. New England is expected to win the championship this year. This wasn’t their best season, but they are the best team in the league, and have put up some serious numbers. Game on, New England!
