5:10 p.m. ET: The New England Patriots are just as shallow at wide receiver as they are at cornerback.

The Patriots have just three healthy players at each position heading into their Monday night matchup with the Buffalo Bills.

Patriots nickel cornerback Justin Coleman already has been ruled out with a hand injury, leaving just Malcolm Butler, Logan Ryan and Rashaan Melvin on their active roster. Patriots wideout Aaron Dobson was added to the injury report with a back ailment, joining fellow receiver Keshawn Martin on the questionable list. That leaves just Danny Amendola, Brandon LaFell and Chris Harper as the lone healthy receivers on the 53-man roster. It remains to be seen if Dobson or Martin can play. Patriots inactives are released an hour and a half before kickoff.

If Dobson and Martin can't play, Harper will have to step up in Julian Edelman's old Z role. If Melvin falters, safety Devin McCourty might have to play cornerback.
