Shoulder injury
A surprise for today’s big game: Patriots WR Chris Hogan not expected to play vs Steelers as he continues recovery from shoulder injury, per league source. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Hogan’s absence is somewhat of a surprise considering he played the majority of snaps last week. The Patriots signed Kenny Britt early this week. In Hogan’s absence expect more work for Brandin Cooks, Rob Gronkowski Danny Amendola and the running backs.
