The New England Patriots will be without two of their top wideouts for Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 12.
Receivers Mohamed Sanu (ankle) and Phillip Dorsett (concussion) will not play. The Patriots will instead look to their rookie receivers in N’Keal Harry, a 2019 first-round pick who missed the first half of the season with an ankle injury, and Jakobi Meyers, who went undrafted. Both players seem to be coming along slowly.
Tackle Isaiah Wynn will make his return from injury, which is likely to bump Marshall Newhouse out of the left tackle spot. Wynn, who the Patriots drafted in the first round in 2018, hasn’t played since Week 2 when he departed from the game with a toe injury, which landed him on injured reserve for eight games. Safety Patrick Chung is also making his return after missing Week 11.
The rest of the Patriots’ inactives are as follows: offensive lineman Korey Cunningham, running back Damien Harris, quarterback Cody Kessler, cornerback Jason McCourty and tight end Ryan Izzo. McCourty is another surprise — he cropped up on the injury report with a groin injury on Friday when he was limited in practice.
Here’s a look at the Cowboys’ inactives, which include star linebacker Leighton Vander Esch.
