• The Patriots keep looking for answers, but the latest workouts only sharpened the same question: are they betting on what’s already in the building, or are they simply running out of healthy bodies at the positions that matter most?
  • Christian Gonzalez headlines a lengthy injury list, and the Patriots are “severely banged up” ahead of Sunday’s AFC matchup.
  • The most obvious pressure point remains wide receiver.
  • The Patriots did not have a single wideout present during their latest workouts, even as they brought in a group of free agents after the win over Buffalo.
  • Mack Hollins left the win over Buffalo with a non-contact injury, and while he is expected back this season, he may need to miss at least one game.
  • Hunter’s path is a reminder that the roster is still being shaped by players who were not expected to matter this quickly.
  • That is the backdrop for a team that has not started the way many expected.
  • Mike Vrabel’s team sits at 2-2 and behind the Raiders in the current AFC playoff picture, so the margin for getting these personnel calls wrong is already thinner than it looked in September.
