Patriots' Chris Hogan: Good to go Sunday

Hogan (back) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Analysis:

Tight end Rob Gronkowski's season-ending injury shouldn't impact Hogan's workload too much, given that the wideout has been seeing plenty of snaps when healthy. The Patriots do, however, figure to roll with more three-wide receiver sets moving forward, which could lead to rookie Malcolm Mitchell seeing added opportunities in the team's passing offense, potentially at Hogan's expense.
