"While Vrabel did rule out versatile defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga, who was unable to practice this week due to a nagging foot issue, the team's trending toward getting the rest of its injured starters back for Sunday night's home playoff game against the Los Angeles Chargers. That's major news for the Patriots, who have been without key defenders like top edge rusher Harold Landry Jr., and middle linebacker Robert Spillane, who was piecing together an All-Pro season prior to getting banged up in Week 13."
"Vrabel confirmed that rookie Jared Wilson has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and will start Sunday's game at left guard. Starting wide out Kayshon Boutte, limited this week due to a hamstring issue, will carry a questionable designation into the game. The reported illness sweeping through the Patriots' locker room appears to be a non-factor, with Morgan Moses and others cleared and ready to roll."
