Sunday morning injury updates

A surprise: Hogan expected to be out

The injury reports and expected active and inactives are filtering in. There's one noteworthy expected absence that wasn't suggested during the week: Chris Hogan (shoulder) for the Patriots. He's expected to be out.

That's the news from Adam Schefter. Kenny Britt, recently added from waivers, is expected to be active. Nobody should automatically assume that Britt picks up Hogan's role, but it's certainly possible he'll see some involvement in the game plan.

Other news and notes:

  • On Friday, Kyle Rudolph was being called doubtful. But reports came out last night indicating he'd play, and he's in fact active today.

  • Leonard Fournette is inactive for the Jaguars, as expected. Chris Ivory should start and be the main runner, with T.J. Yeldon mixing in, especially in passing situations.

  • Matt Forte is active for the Jets; they should have a three-man backfield at New Orleans.

  • Ted Ginn is inactive for the Saints. That should help increase chances for Willie Snead, Tommylee Lewis and Brandon Coleman behind Michael Thomas.

  • Mike Wallace is active for the Ravens. He and Jeremy Maclin should be the main options against a Browns defense soft against the pass.

  • Kelvin Benjamin is active for the Bills; should be their No. 1 and a viable option against Miami.

  • JuJu Smith-Schuster is expected to be active for Pittsburgh, playing through a hamstring injury. Some risk in expecting him to have his regular workload in the offense.
