Patriots WRs Dobson, Thompkins ruled out

New England Patriots' rookie wide receivers Aaron Dobson and Kenbrell Thompkins are ruled out of Sunday's game at the Miami Dolphins.

Dobson has missed the past two games with a foot injury and Thompkins will miss his second consecutive game with a hip injury.

Dobson has 35 catches for 492 yards with four touchdowns while Thompkins has 32 receptions for 466 yards with four TDs.

The Patriots' top two receivers, Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola, will get reinforcement from rookie Josh Boyce and veterans Austin Collie and Matthew Slater.

Also, right tackle Marcus Cannon (ankle) made the trip to Miami and is questionable to play.
