Patriots injury report: Aaron Hernandez, Rob Gronkowski questionable for Jets

New England Patriots tight ends Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski are both listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Hernandez played for the first time last week since injuring his ankle in Week 2, but wasn't at full speed. Gronkowski has been playing through a hip issue all season, so it seems likely that he will play.

Three players are listed as out for the Pats, including running back Brandon Bolden, safety Steve Gregory and linebacker Tracy White.

The Jets will most likely be without defensive linemen Kenrick Ellis and Sione Pouha on Sunday. That should be a good sign for a Patriots offense that struggled to get the running game going in a loss to the Seahawks.

New York may also be thin at running back, as Joe McKnight and Bilal Powell both missed practice on Friday. McKnight is listed as questionable with a shoulder injury, while Powell is doubtful with a shoulder issue. Quarterback Tim Tebow may be asked to line up at running back for some snaps to fill the void.
