Patriots Injury Report for Sunday's Game is Stunning to See
After surviving against the Cowboys, the Patriots are in for another tough test as they face the Texans on the road on Sunday. This time, however, they may be very shorthanded.
The injury report for New England came out on Friday, showing that literally 17 players might not be able to suit up.
A whopping 17 Patriots players are listed as questionable for Sunday's game, including nine with illnesses. Ryan Izzo is out.

This is incredible. The injuries range from knee problems, to ankle issues, to even nine players out with a flu that spread through the locker room.

There are some important names on this list, including Julian Edelman, Dont'a Hightower, and Patrick Chung to name a few.
But thankfully for Patriots fans, one name that was removed from the report was Tom Brady, who seemed amped up for Sunday's game based on how he looked at practice.

Also, it's unlikely that every single player listed as questionable will be out as at least a few should recover from that flu. But still, that list is quite a sight to see and must be encouraging for Houston.
