Patriots Rule Marcus Jones, JaMycal Hasty Out Against the Bills

The New England Patriots hit the road to play the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. They will do so without at least two of their players. The Patriots ruled RB/KR JaMycal Hasty and CB/PR Marcus Jones out for the game.

Hasty (ankle) and Jones (hip) were non-participants in practice throughout the week. New England needs to find replacements for both in the return game. Newly acquired Alex Erickson is one possibility as a practice squad elevation. Javon Baker and Antonio Gibson can handle kickoff return duties but Jennings needs to be replaced for running back depth. Gibson and Rhamondre Stevenson are the only other running backs on the 53-man roster.

New England listed five players as questionable. That gives them a 50-50 chance of playing on Sunday. That group consists of OT Caedan Wallace (ankle), OL Cole Strange (knee), DE Keion White (groin), S Kyle Dugger (ankle/illness), and S Jabrill Peppers (hamstring).

Wallace remains on injured reserve for New England. The Patriots need to add him to the 53-man roster before can play. White and Peppers were just added to New England’s practice participation report on Friday.

The New England Patriots (3-11) play the Buffalo Bills (11-3) Sunday at 4:25.
