Overview
- New England ruled out RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe), WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), TE Austin Hooper (concussion) and LB Christian Elliss (hip) for Thursday night.
- Stevenson will miss a third straight game after being limited earlier in the week, paving the way for rookie TreVeyon Henderson to start again following his 147-yard, two-touchdown performance in Week 10.
- RB Terrell Jennings is questionable with a knee injury after limited practices, leaving the backfield thin on a short week.
- The Patriots re-signed Jonathan Ward to the practice squad and are expected to elevate veteran D’Ernest Johnson to reinforce depth.
- The Jets confirmed WR Garrett Wilson will not play due to a knee injury, finalizing key absences on both sides.
