Patriots Injury Report: Dobson Ruled Out; Dennard, Thompkins Questionable vs. Colts
BOSTON (CBS) - Rookie wide receiver Aaron Dobson has been ruled out for Saturday night's playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Dobson has been battling a foot injury since Week 12 against Denver, missing three games before returning in Week 16 against the Baltimore Ravens. He re-injured the foot in the regular-season finale against the Bills, and did not practice at all over the last two weeks.
Fellow rookie receiver Kenbrell Thompkins (hip) and corner Alfonzo Dennard (knee/shoulder) were both listed as "questionable" for the Patriots, giving them a 50-50 chance of playing against Indianapolis.
Left guard Logan Mankins, who left the win over Buffalo in the second half with an ankle injury, is one of nine Patriots listed as "probable" for Saturday night.
