Sixteen players are listed as questionable ahead of the New England Patriots’ AFC Championship Game matchup Sunday against the Denver Broncos.
In the injury report, released Friday afternoon, five others were listed as probable after full participation at practice on Friday. No players were listed as out or doubtful.
Wide receivers Danny Amendola, Julian Edelman, and special teams guru Matthew Slater were listed as questionable, as was tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Scott Chandler. All were suffering from knee, foot, or shin injuries but participated in practice in some capacity all week.

Tom Brady, Patrick Chung, Josh Kline, Brandon LaFell, and Devin McCourty were all listed on the injury report as "probable."
