OL Cole Strange (knee), Out: Strange returned to practice recently but remains on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list and will not be activated. He suffered a knee injury late last season.
WR DeMario Douglas (ankle), Questionable: Hunter Henry leads the team in receiving, but Douglas has been the team’s most productive receiver this season. Douglas has caught 76 percent of his targets, mostly from the slot, for 477 yards with a touchdown.
S Kyle Dugger (ankle), Questionable: Dugger does a little bit of everything for the Patriots defense, frequently lining up closer to the line of scrimmage along with playing free safety. He’s a sound tackler and in coverage has allowed 12.3 yards per catch on 19 receptions surrendered.
LB Christian Elliss (knee), Questionable: Elliss sees regular action each week, totaling 282 snaps this season on defense, along with being a regular special teams contributor. He has eight pressures as a blitzer and made 35-of-39 tackle attempts.
EDGE Anfernee Jennings (knee), Questionable: Jennings has totaled 22 pressures and three sacks this season. By PFF’s metrics, he graded out well as a run defender, where collectively, the Patriots defense has held its own.
OT Vederian Lowe (shoulder), Questionable: Lowe has been the Patriots’ starting left tackle this season. He’s given up four sacks, 24 pressures, and has been penalized four times. The New England offensive line unit has struggled in pass protection this season.
S Jabrill Peppers (knee), Questionable: Peppers returned to the team this week after being removed from the commissioner’s exempt list on Monday. He last played in Week 4 and is a versatile defender on the back end.
DT Jaquelin Roy (neck), Questionable: Roy hasn’t played in the last two games and has seen the bulk of his snaps come against the run rather than the pass as an A-gap defender.
LB Sione Takitaki (knee), Questionable: Takitaki has been a rotational backer for the Patriots the last few weeks, playing on average about 23 snaps per contest. He’s made four tackles and allowed two receptions on three targets for 21 yards.
EDGE Deatrich Wise (foot), Questionable: Wise told New England reporters that he plans to play this week. He enters Week 13 second on the team in sacks and third in pressures.
