Report: Patriots optimistic about Hogan's shoulder injury

The New England Patriots are optimistic about Chris Hogan's status after he suffered a right shoulder injury during Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Chargers, a source told Mike Reiss of ESPN.

Hogan - who had his arm in a sling - will reportedly undergo an MRI on Monday morning.

The Patriots are on a bye next week, so if New England's assessment of the situation is correct, the pass-catcher shouldn't be in danger of missing much - if any - time.
