When the New England Patriots traveled to Ohio on Saturday for their Week 15 game against the Cincinnati Bengals Isaiah Wynn Jersey , only 52 members of their active roster were on the plane: defensive tackle Byron Cowart, who was listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report because of a concussion, did not make the trip and will officially miss the game — the third time in a row that the fifth-round draft selection will be out due to the injury.Cowart being the lone member of the team to be declared out against the Bengals, however, means that there is a realistic chance that the other six questionables play on Sunday: wide receivers Julian Edelman (knee/shoulder) and Mohamed Sanu (ankle), center Ted Karras (knee), defensive tackle Danny Shelton (shoulder) Womens Danny Etling Jersey , linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley (knee), and cornerback Jason McCourty (groin) are all game-day decisions.While the others all played last week against the Kansas City Chiefs — even though Sanu and McCourty were both limited — Ted Karras missed the contest: the Patriots’ starting center was declared out after hurting his knee in Week 13 and was subsequently replaced by James Ferentz versus the Chiefs. While there is no guarantee he will return to the lineup against the Bengals, seeing him make the trip is obviously good news for his return.The Patriots will officially announce their inactives 90 minutes before today’s kickoff: at 12:30 pm, six more players will join Cowart on the list of players who will sit the game out. New England has plenty of options but none made the cut." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhitePats Pulpita New England Patriots communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpPatriots NewsOpinion and AnalysisContribute!About the SiteTopicsPatriotsOddsShopStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhitePatriots News Opinion and Analysis Contribute!

With the offseason in full swing, NFL Network’s Cynthia Frelund decided to shine the spotlight on them a bit: she created a list of the league’s top underappreciated players using draft status (picked no higher than round three), Pro Bowl selections (no more than two) Youth Isaiah Wynn Jerseys , and overall value to a team.The list looks as follows:Needless to say that all five of the players on Frelund’s list were key contributors for their respective teams in 2018. Kelce and King were named to the first All-Pro team, Hicks was voted to the Pro Bowl. Byard, meanwhile, continued to be one of the NFL’s best safeties, while Humphries — still playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2018 — produced the best season of his four-year career.When it comes to underappreciation, the New England Patriots are no strangers either. While the team has/had superstar players like Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski on its roster, some of the world champions’ most valuable players are far from being household names and would therefore perfectly fit on a list like Frelund’s — maybe over a talented but not outstandingly productive player like Humphries.Take the Patriots’ interior offensive line: all three starters — Joe Thuney Isaiah Wynn Jerseys Stitched , David Andrews, Shaq Mason — were either drafted in the middle rounds or went unselected, but were key players in helping New England capture the Lombardi Trophy last year. Or take Lawrence Guy, whose name was rarely mentioned but who finished the year as one of Pro Football Focus’ highest-rated interior defensive linemen.And then there is Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman, a perfect example for an underappreciated player. The former college quarterback who turned into a seventh-round draft pick and ultimately Tom Brady’s go-to wide receiver, was never named to a Pro Bowl but is among the league’s most productive pass catchers year-in and year-out. His contributions to the Patriots are of the utmost value — and should have also earned him recognition among the NFL’s top underappreciated guys.Then again, Edelman and players like those mentioned above exemplify the dynasty-era Patriots: it is the oft-unheralded depth players that are a big reason why the team won six Super Bowls since 2001. And if they keep flying under the radar Youth Duke Dawson Jerseys , so be it. The results, after all, speak for themselves.
