The New England Patriots will be at full strength for Saturday's divisional round matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Tight end Rob Gronkowski, wide receiver Julian Edelman, defensive ends Chandler Jones and Rob Ninkovich, and offensive tackle Sebastian Vollmer are all active for the Patriots.

It will be Edelman's first game action since breaking a bone in his left foot on Nov. 15. Gronkowski returned to practice Friday in a limited fashion after missing the previous session with knee and back injuries, while Jones was limited throughout the week by abdominal and toe ailments.

Inactive for the Patriots are offensive linemen Tre' Jackson and LaAdrian Waddle, wide receiver Chris Harper, safety Tavon Wilson, defensive linemen Ishmaa'ily Kitchen and Geneo Grissom, and linebacker Jonathan Bostic.
