Patriots WR Matt Slater has been diagnosed with a fractured wrist and will be sidelined 4-6 weeks.

Slater doesn't play on offense, but he's the special teams captain. The Patriots have already used their short-term injured reserve spot on Shane Vereen; he has a broken wrist of his own. Slater is a "glue" player for the Patriots. Sep 16 - 7:46 PM

Depth Charts

Skill Players
Pos	Role	Name
QB	1	Tom Brady
	2	Ryan Mallett
RB	1	Stevan Ridley
	2	Shane Vereen Probable Shane Vereen rushed three times for nine yards and one touchdown and caught 12 passes for 153 yards in the Patriots' Week 14 win over the Browns. Vereen was a monster in the passing game, drawing a whopping 17 targets. After Rob Gronkowski suffered what's believed to be a torn ACL midway through the third quarter, Tom Brady leaned on Vereen heavily. On a late third-quarter touchdown drive, Vereen accounted for all 72 yards of offense on two catches and a six-yard scoring plunge. His big grab was a 50-yard connection down the left sideline in Craig Robertson's coverage. Vereen is going to draw a ton of targets with Gronkowski likely out for the rest of the season. The RB2 could push for RB1 numbers over the final three weeks. Start Vereen every week. Dec 8
	3	LeGarrette Blount
	4	Brandon Bolden Probable Brandon Bolden's absence from Patriots practice Friday was described as "not injury related." It doesn't sound like Bolden is in danger of missing Sunday's tilt with the Browns, though he hasn't been much of a factor in New England's offense lately. He managed 20 yards on four touches in last week's win over the Texans. Dec 6
GLB	1	Stevan Ridley
	2	Shane Vereen
3RB	1	Shane Vereen
	2	Stevan Ridley
FB	1	James Develin
WR1	1	Danny Amendola Probable Danny Amendola caught four passes for 36 yards and one touchdown in Week 14 against the Browns. Amendola drew eight targets and caught the game-winning one-yard touchdown to cap the comeback win for the Patriots. Amendola had been losing snaps to Julian Edelman in recent weeks, but we'd expect Amendola to be a near full-time player the rest of the season with Rob Gronkowski likely to miss the rest of the year with a torn ACL. Amendola has WR3 appeal next week in Miami. Dec 8
	2	Julian Edelman
	3	Josh Boyce
	4	Mark Harrison PUP Patriots placed WR Mark Harrison on the reserve/PUP list. A size-speed freak out of Rutgers, Harrison spent the entire pre-draft process and training camp recovering from a foot problem. He's highly unlikely to be a 2013 contributor and figures to spend the year on the PUP list. Aug 26
WR2	1	Aaron Dobson Sidelined Aaron Dobson (foot) was spotted in a walking boot Sunday. The Patriots haven't revealed the exact extent of Dobson's injury, but being in a boot a full two weeks after sustaining his injury is not a good sign. Kenbrell Thompkins (hip) is also inactive Sunday, turning the "X" spot into a hand-off situation. Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola and Josh Boyce are the Patriots' top-three wideouts against the Browns. Dec 8
	2	Kenbrell Thompkins Sidelined Kenbrell Thompkins (hip) and Aaron Dobson (foot) are inactive for Sunday's Week 14 game against the Browns. Thompkins was listed as questionable, while Dobson had already been ruled out. Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola will be the top two receivers. Josh Boyce will see his snaps increase, and recently re-signed Austin Collie is also active. New England's remaining inactives are RT Marcus Cannon, RB Brandon Bolden, DE Jake Bequette, LB Steve Beauharnais, and TE Michael Hoomanawanui. Dec 8
	3	Austin Collie
	4	Matt Slater
WR3	1	Julian Edelman
TE	1	Rob Gronkowski Sidelined FOX Sports' Mike Garafolo reports the initial fear is that Rob Gronkowski suffered a torn right ACL in Sunday's Week 14 game against the Browns. Gronkowski will undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm the crushing news. After the game, coach Bill Belichick offered up little information, simply saying his tight end was "taken to the hospital for evaluation." Classic Belichick. Gronkowski is done for the season if the scan confirms a tear, and his status for Week 1 of 2014 will also be uncertain. We saw how badly the Patriots struggled without Gronkowski earlier this year. It's going to affect the offense in a monster way. That can't be understated. It does help that Shane Vereen is in the lineup this time around. He'll be leaned on heavily in the passing game. Dec 8
	2	Michael Hoomanawanui Probable Michael Hoomanawanui (knee) returned to practice Wednesday. It's Hoomanawanui's first practice since going down in the Week 11 loss to the Panthers. He'll return as a strict situational blocker. Dec 4
	3	Matthew Mulligan
K	1	Stephen Gostkowski
