FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Barring an unexpected late change, the New England Patriots are not planning to have injured quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in uniform for Thursday night's home game against the Houston Texans, according to a source close to the situation.
Garoppolo, who sprained the AC joint in his right throwing shoulder on Sunday, was officially listed as doubtful on the team's injury report. That means he's unlikely to play, but one line of thinking was that perhaps he could still dress and serve as an emergency option.
But the Patriots, at this time, aren't planning to take that course with Garoppolo.
