The Patriots and Eagles have released their final injury reports for the Super Bowl. It's a very clean list: "No Players Listed." Every player for both teams practiced fully on Friday. Rob Gronkowski, Rex Burkhead and Eagles like Jay Ajayi (ankle) and Timmy Jernigan (illness) are all good to go.
So with the injury concerns set aside, the player rankings get shuffled a little bit. Most notably, Rex Burkhead moves up, since he gets a larger portion of the running game for New England (yards and touchdowns), and Dion Lewis moves down a little.
Players at the very bottom of the list either aren't likely to have an offensive role or aren't likely to even be active. Wendell Smallwood and Mike Gillislee, I'm talking about you.
