Update Emerges On Mohamed Sanu, Phillip Dorsett’s Status For Game Vs. Texans
The New England Patriots arrived in Houston with a third of their players listed as questionable. The Patriots locker room was hit by the flu bug, and many players missed this week’s sessions due to the illness. Wideouts Mohamed Sanu and Phillip Dorsett will join the team on the field according to Ian Rapoport from NFL Media. Sanu was dealing with an ankle issue and Dorsett “earned” a concussion in the game against the Philadelphia Eagles. This concussion put him on the sidelines last week, and Dorsett missed the game against the Dallas Cowboys.
This is great news for the Patriots nation, and quarterback Tom Brady must be happy to have his full receiver unit on the field. How many players will actually play on Sunday? Fifteen players are listed as questionable, and ten of them have an illness. Yes, flu.

NFL experts have shared their opinion on the game. Pretty much every expert agrees that Brady will lead his team to another win. Mike Reiss and Gregg Rosenthal discussed the problems New England may have on Sunday. The offense still struggles to score points, but they will get back on track eventually. The biggest issue New England has at the moment is the health condition of the key players.
Houston is a tough opponent, but the Patriots defeated the Cowboys, and they are ready for the challenge now. Let’s see if he team will be able to win the eleventh win for the season. The Texans will try to limit Brady’s team.
It will be hard, but the Patriots can take it all. The Baltimore Ravens are behind their back, and head coach Bill Belichick will have to come up with a solution.
