The New England Patriots will take on the New York Jets without one of their key defensive players.
Linebacker Kyle Van Noy has been ruled out for Sunday's game due to a throat injury that kept him sidelined throughout the week. Rookie kicker Quinn Nordin (abdomen) also will be inactive and is expected to be placed on injured reserve, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport.
The good news for New England is offensive tackle Trent Brown could return after suffering a calf injury in Week 1.
