Patriots Week 7 injury report: 16 players listed as questionable to play vs. Bills

The New England Patriots held their last big practice ahead of Sunday’s showdown with the visiting Buffalo Bills. They announced 16 players as questionable to play in the game, while three other players have already been ruled out.

The players missing in action at Friday’s practice were offensive lineman Riley Reiff, linebacker Josh Uche and defensive end Keion White.

Reiff wouldn’t have saved the offensive line, but he could have helped settle things down at right tackle. That means another week of quarterback Mac Jones needing to keep his head on a swivel to avoid getting mauled by the opposing defense.

Speaking of defense, the Patriots’ unit takes another hit with both Uche and White being out for this game. They are already playing without four-time Pro Bowler Matthew Judon. So losing both Uche and White as well is a huge blow for a defensive front tasked with getting pressure on Bills otherworldly quarterback Josh Allen.

Here’s the full injury report for both teams heading into the weekend:

New England Patriots

DNP: Did not practice; LP: Limited participation ; FP: Full participation

*designated to return from IR

Buffalo Bills
