FOXBORO — Nine Patriots aren't in uniform tonight, which means they aren't yet recovered from their injuries: Julian Edelman (torn ACL), Nate Ebner (undisclosed), Harvey Langi (undisclosed), Keionta Davis (hasn't practiced since signing), Shea McClellin (undisclosed), Tony Garcia (undisclosed), Andrew Jelks (NFI), Deatrich Wise (concussion) and Derek Rivers (torn ACL).
Nate Solder, Matthew Slater, Rex Burkhead, Malcolm Mitchell and Brandon King are back in uniform, which could be a promising sign for their availability next week against the Chiefs. It certainly doesn't guarantee anything, but if they're healthy enough to be in uniform, it's better than the alternative.
