Most of the focus surrounding the New England Patriots' injury report has been on the offensive line. But now a key defensive player's status is up in the air for their Week 9 matchup with the Washington Redskins.

The Patriots announced Saturday that outside linebacker Jamie Collins is questionable for Sunday's game at Gillette Stadium due to an illness.

Collins has recorded 51 tackles and 4.5 sacks in seven starts for New England this season.
