Running back Brandon Bolden has been downgraded from questionable to out for Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins, the Patriots announced Saturday afternoon.

Bolden, who has been limited in practice this week due to a lingering hamstring injury, was listed as questionable on the team’s injury report Friday afternoon, but his status changed the following day. He ran the ball once, for seven yards, in New England’s win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He’s in his eighth season in the NFL and his seventh with the Patriots after playing for the Dolphins last year. In his absence, it’s possible Rex Burkhead and Damien Harris will see additional carries, particularly if the game ends up being as lopsided as many expect it to be.
