FOXBORO -- The following Patriots players are inactive for Sunday's AFC championship against the Jaguars: running back Mike Gillislee, wide receiver Bernard Reedy, wide receiver Kenny Britt, defensive tackle Alan Branch, offensive tackle LaAdrian Waddle, tight end Jacob Hollister and linebacker David Harris.
Gillislee, Waddle, Branch were all listed as questionable. Waddle injured his knee last weekend in the AFC divisional round and Gillislee injured his knee in Week 15. Branch hasn't been active since he injured his knee in Week 14, but he has said each of the last two weeks he's healthy enough to play.
This does mean Rex Burkhead returns after missing the last two games of the regular season and the first postseason game, and of course, Tom Brady is active with his right hand injury.
One thing to keep an eye on his how Hollister is replaced on special teams. One possibility could be Johnson Bademosi, who was inactive for the first time all season last week.
