The Patriots downgraded starting right tackle Marcus Cannon and reserve cornerback Keion Crossen, ruling both out for Sunday’s game. Cannon, who has a calf injury, and Crossen, who has a hamstring injury, did not make the trip.

But running backs Rex Burkhead and Sony Michel are with the team. Burkhead has a concussion and Michel a knee issue.

The Patriots listed all four players -- Crossen, Cannon, Burkhead and Michel -- as questionable in their Friday status report.

Michel was inactive last week as was Crossen.

With Jeremy Hill out for the season with a torn ACL, the Patriots could use Michel and Burkhead. Burkhead led the Patriots in rushing last week against Houston with 18 carries for 64 yards.
