Patriots rule 3 players out, list 16 as questionable for Bills game
Bill Belichick has put 19 players on his final injury report of the week.
Only three Patriots have been ruled out for this Sunday’s game against the Bills — Riley Reiff (knee), Josh Uche (knee/foot), and Keion White (concussion) — while 16 others have been listed as questionable, most notably Hunter Henry who is battling an ankle injury.
Of that trio, Uche’s absence is the most troubling, as there’s no clear replacement for him as a situational pass rusher.
Despite not listing over a dozen players like New England, Buffalo had some significant injury news, too, as Ed Oliver (toe) won’t make the trip to Foxborough. On Wednesday, Belichick had gushed about the defensive tackle’s ability.
“Best pass rush in the league, probably most disruptive defensive lineman in the league – or certainly one of them, we haven’t seen them all, but put Oliver up there,” Belichick said.
Here’s the full injury report for both teams:
