New England Patriots linebacker Jamie Collins will miss his fourth straight game Sunday night against the Denver Broncos after he was downgraded from doubtful to out Saturday.
Collins returned to practice Friday in a limited capacity, but was always unlikely to suit up Sunday as he recovers from an undisclosed illness.
Injuries continue to hamper the Patriots, as the team also confirmed that wide receiver Danny Amendola will miss the contest with a knee injury.
Tight end Michael Williams was also ruled out of Sunday's game due to a knee injury.
The Patriots promoted tight end Asante Cleveland from the practice squad to add depth at the position with Williams sidelined.
