12 Patriots questionable, 1 doubtful for Week 5 vs. Dolphins image

The New England Patriots are preparing for their Week 5 matchup against the Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, as they'll look to stop their losing skid at three games.

On Friday, New England held their final practice of the week and released their last injury report for the game.

Linebacker Sione Takitaki (knee) was the lone player listed as doubtful.

However, the Patriots listed 12 players as questionable, including safety Kyle Dugger (ankle), wide receiver Kendrick Bourne (knee), linebacker Anfernee Jennings (shoulder), cornerback Jonathan Jones (shoulder), cornerback Marus Jones (groin), guard Michael Jordan (ankle), offensive lineman Nick Leverett (ankle), offensive tackle Vederian Lowe (knee), safety Marte Mapu (calf), wide receiver K.J. Osborn (shoulder), safety Jabrill Peppers (shoulder) and guard Layden Robinson (ankle/wrist).

If Leverett can't go on Sunday, New England may have to elevate practice squad center Bryan Hudson to make his first start for the team, which isn't ideal.

The Dolphins listed safety Jordan Poyer (shin) as out, and quarterback Skylar Thompson (ribs), wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) and cornerback Cam Smith (hamstring) as questionable.
