The Patriots have just announced their inactives for the week — here’s who will be sidelined, and here’s what it all means.
Brian Hoyer: The quarterback will sit, as Jarrett Stidham will serve as the primary backup to Cam Newton.
J.J. Taylor: The undersized back has been a healthy scratch an awful lot lately, but this time, it’s likely traceable back to the idea that Sony Michel is back and ready to roll.
Tashawn Bower: The OLB/DE has been on the injury report with an illness, which thins New England’s depth on the edges heading into this afternoon.
