FOXBORO -- The Patriots will be without one of their top corners when they take on the Colts this weekend.
Tarell Brown, who missed his second consecutive practice of the week on Friday, has been ruled out with a foot injury.
The Patriots have a pair of starters who will be questionable for Sunday's game in linebacker Dont'a Hightower (ribs) and running back Dion Lewis (abdomen). Hightower was forced to leave last week's game against the Cowboys in the first quarter due to his rib injury. Lewis popped up on the Patriots injury report for the first time this week on Thursday.
For the Colts, there's still some uncertainty as to which quarterback will get the start behind center as Andrew Luck is listed as questionable. Whether it's Luck or Matt Hasselbeck who gets the majority of the snaps, the Patriots will be ready for either.
