The New England Patriots’ game against the Miami Dolphins is as big a game as a week four contest can be: two games behind its AFC East rival, the team needs to win in order to not lose ground in the race for the division crown. Entering the matchup, however, the Patriots are banged up – even after placing running back Rex Burkhead and linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley on injured reserve.
A look at the first injury report of the week confirms this:
Dolphins: LB Chase Allen (foot), WR Danny Amendola (not injury related), DE Andre Branch (knee), TE A.
