FOXBORO -- As was reported earlier Sunday, linebacker Jamie Collins will miss the Patriots' game against the Bengals because of a hip issue.
The complete Patriots' list:
RB Brandon Bolden
LB Shea McClellin
CB Justin Coleman
LB Jamie Collins
CB Cyrus Jones
DL Vincent Valentine
T LaAdrian Waddle
Quick reaction to the list . . .
-- Interesting to note that Eric Rowe is active with both Jones and Coleman out as healthy scratches. It's the first game in uniform for Rowe.
-- Collins and McClellin's absence should mean plenty of playing time for Elandon Roberts. Could also see Rob Ninkovich and/or Barkevious Mingo play some linebacker.
-- Bolden returned to practice this week, but he's inactive for the second consecutive game.
New England Patriots
-- Geneo Grissom and Anthony Johnson, both called up from the practice squad, are active. Would expect to see plenty of Grissom in the kicking game.
-- On the Bengals side of things, tight end Tyler Eifert is out, which was announced on Friday. He did not practice all week. Expect the Bengals passing game to rely upon receivers AJ Green, Brandon LaFell and Tyler Boyd as well as running back Gio Bernard as it has all season in Eifert's absence.
