After ruling three players out on Thursday, the New England Patriots released their final injury report ahead of Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Nine players are questionable to play in Week 10 for New England, including team captain and special teams legend Matthew Slater. Along with cornerback Jack Jones, Slater was a new name on the list.
Special teams has been a problem for the Patriots this season. So the possibility of Slater not being on the field is something to keep an eye on this weekend.
Center David Andrews didn’t practice on Friday, but his absence was noted as not injury-related/rest. The offensive line will already be without Trent Brown in the lineup. At this point, Andrews is the primary offensive player keeping the unit from completely imploding into a bigger catastrophe than it already is at the moment.
Here are the full injury reports for the Patriots and Colts on Friday:

The season likely being a lost cause for the Patriots makes them a dangerous football team. They don’t have much to lose at this point. They’ll be punching up as underdogs against a flawed Colts team with a losing record.
