While the injury report for the New England Patriots all week was thicker than the dictionary, only rookie fullback Jorvorskie Lane (knee) had any doubts surrounding his status this afternoon. He did enough during warm-ups to convince the coaching staff he can play.

So the seven inactive players for Miami are pretty much the same as they have been most of the season. Joining quarterback Pat Devlin are rookie tight ends Michael Egnew and Kyle Miller, safety Jonathon Amaya, tackle Will Yeatman, rookie linebacker Josh Kaddu and defensive tackle Kheeston Randall.

Meanwhile, the Patriots listed tight end Rob Gronkowski (forearm/hip), rookie defensive end Chandler Jones (ankle), guard Logan Mankins (ankle/calf), offensive lineman Mitch Petrus, tight end Visanthe Shiancoe, safety Derrick Martin and running back James Develin as inactive for the game.
