11:32 a.m.: Josh Uche, Cassh Maluia, Jarrett Stidham, Korey Cunningham and Dalton Keene are the Patriots inactives. No tremendous surprises here — the majority of those guys have either been banged up, or the victim of personnel battles. Two of the younger linebackers are down in Uche and Maluia, which should test their depth. And the tackle depth would still worry me, especially with Cunningham out. We’ll see how it all shakes out this afternoon.
11:22 a.m.: Inactives should be along at the bottom of the hour. In the meantime, chime in on the pregame prediction poll:
