The New England Patriots are relatively healthy entering week 14. Every single player on their 53-man roster practiced this week and not one was listed as “out” on Friday’s final injury report. However, this has since changed: the Patriots announced yesterday that tight end Dwayne Allen has been downgraded from “questionable” to “out” and that he will miss today’s game against the Miami Dolphins due to a knee injury.
With Allen unavailable again, the Patriots will likely once again use a heavy dose of Rob Gronkowski when it comes to run blocking and pass protecting.
