The New England Patriots had an enormous injury report ahead of Week 7 against the New York Jets at Gillette Stadium.
Five Patriots did not participate due to injuries: DT Davon Godchuax (finger), LB Dont’a Hightower (elbow/ankle), CB Jonathan Jones (ankle), DL Deatrich Wise (knee) and CB Shaun Wade (concussion).
Godchaux, Hightwer and Jones are starters for the team with Wise being a top rotational player. Wade has yet to play for the team after they traded for him earlier this offseason.
New England also had 11 players who were limited: DT Christian Barmore (shoulder), LB Ja’Whaun Bentley (ribs), RB Brandon Bolden (thigh), S Kyle Dugger (knee), K Nick Folk (left knee), LB Brandon King (thigh), OG Shaq Mason (abdomen), DB Jalen Mills (hamstring) and S Adrian Phillips (back).

That group of limited players did not include RB Damien Harris, who was dealing with a rib issue in Week 6, or QB Mac Jones, who took a substantial hit from Cowboys DE Randy Gregory during Sunday’s game.
New England kicks off against New York on Sunday at 1 p.m.
