The New England Patriots enter their AFC Divisional round game against the Houston Texas looking relatively healthy, with the exception of wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell, who suffered a knee injury Week 17 against the Miami Dolphins. The team released the list of players who will watch from the sideline January 14.



Mitchell highlights the inactive list against the Texans. Also standing on the sidelines are cornerbacks Cyrus Jones and Justin Coleman, running back D.J. Foster, quarterback Jacoby Brissett, tackle LaAdrian Waddle and safety Jordan Richards.

The receiver was in the midst of a breakthrough rookie season for the Patriots. He tallied 32 catches through the season for 401 yards and 4 touchdowns prior to suffering the injury

Mitchell’s absence on the field means receiver Danny Amendola will step in to fill the role.
