The Patriots will be without Tom Brady’s first and second options today, but his third option is ready to return.
New England receiver Danny Amendola, listed as questionable with a knee injury, is expected to play, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The Patriots will not have tight end Rob Gronkowski or wide receiver Julian Edelman, both of whom have been ruled out with injuries, so having Amendola will be particularly important.
Over the last two weeks, Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston and Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford have feasted on the Eagles’ secondary. We’ll see today if Brady can do the same, even without his two top targets.
