The New England Patriots are hurting at the tight end position with starter Rob Gronkowski questionable with a hip injury that limited him in practice. However, Aaron Hernandez, who also was limited, is recovering more quickly than expected from his high ankle sprain. The Pats listed wide receiver Julian Edelman, who missed Friday's practice with a hand injury, as out.
The Patriots, who are known to be vague on their injury reports, listed 12 players who were limited on Friday. Twelve are listed as questionable.
The Patriots are set to face the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
