What happened: The New England Patriots announced six inactive players. Cornerback Carlton Davis III and offensive tackle Dametrious Crownover are sidelined with neck and knee injuries, respectively. Defensive tackle Leonard Taylor III, offensive lineman Walter Rouse, tight end Tanner Arkin and quarterback Behren Morton are also scratched.

Why it matters: New England takes the field with a 1-3 record on a two-game losing streak. The absence of Davis removes a piece from the defensive backfield. The Patriots will navigate depth adjustments in the trenches with both Crownover and Rouse inactive.

What to watch: Watch how the New England secondary adjusts without Davis in the rotation. The offensive line depth will be tested with multiple reserves inactive.
