The Bills will be without top offensive threats in their rematch against the Patriots
In their Week 4 shutout loss to the Bills, the Patriots played without their two top offensive threats at full-strength.
In Sunday’s rematch at Buffalo, the tables of health look to have turned.
Bills star running back LeSean McCoy will be out due to a hamstring injury he aggravated last week against the Miami Dolphins.
Marquise Goodwin, Buffalo’s leading receiver in the Week 7 loss, will also miss Sunday’s game due to a concussion. However, the Bills’ leading receiver, Robert Woods, is active for the rematch against the Patriots game, after being listed as questionable earlier this week. Woods had missed the team’s game against the Dolphins due to a foot injury.

The team’s Pro Bowl defensive tackle Marcell Dareus—who missed the first seven games of the season due to suspension and injury—will also make his 2016 debut Sunday.
Meanwhile, unlike in their Week 4 loss, the Patriots will have both Tom Brady and a healthy Rob Gronkowski in the lineup Sunday.

Among the players listed as inactive Sunday, perhaps the most notable is wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell, who was limited in practice this week and previously listed as questionable with a hamstring injury.
