The New England Patriots declared 13 players questionable for Saturday's 2012 NFL Playoffs game against the Denver Broncos. Free safety Patrick Chung reappeared on Friday's injury report as a limited participant due to his knee. However, there seems little reason to believe that he won't play in the game.
Logan Mankins and Sebastian Vollmer are in a position to play after missing several games due to various injuries. Vollmer's return would spell the end of Nate Solder starting for the Patriots.
Wes Welker, wide receiver extraordinaire, is on the report with a knee injury, but he could just as easily burn through the Broncos secondary. Still, tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez are also going to be able to pick up any slack if Welker isn't involved much in the game.
Here is the complete injury report:
