The Patriots have a bunch of players who are in limbo for Week 5.
The Pats had 10 players limited in practice this week ahead of Sunday’s game against the Saints. That doesn’t include Matthew Judon and Christian Gonzalez, who have practiced this week even though they reportedly have injuries that will cost them multiple months, if not the rest of the season.
That list of 10 players also doesn’t include J.C. Jackson, who the Patriots reacquired this week when they traded for him from the Chargers. The cornerback practiced Thursday and Friday after news of the trade broke on Wednesday.
