The New England Patriots made up for the absence of starting guard Sidy Sow in their season-opening win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
They'll have to do the same Sunday when the Seattle Seahawks invade Gillette Stadium in a Week 2 clash.
The Patriots on Friday officially ruled out Sow for the game due to an ankle injury. He's the only Patriots player with that designation while four others are listed as questionable. One of those players is other starting guard Layden Robinson, but after being a limited participant with a shoulder ailment Thursday, he was upgraded to a full participant for Friday's practice session.
Here is the Patriots full injury report:
OUT
G Sidy Sow (ankle)
QUESTIONABLE
S Kyle Dugger (ankle)
RB JaMycal Hasty (knee)
G Layden Robinson (shoulder)
DE Deatrich Wise Jr. (shoulder)
The Seahawks were dealt a blow heading into the game as it's looking like star running back Kenneth Walker III, who rushed for 103 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries in Seattle's season-opening win over the Denver Broncos, won't play. He's listed as doubtful, but not having Walker available against the Patriots doesn't appear troubling to Seattle. Pharoah Brown also won't get the chance to go against his former as the tight end was ruled out for the contest.
Here is the Seahawks full injury report:
OUT
LB Uchenna Nwosu (knee)
TE Pharaoh Brown (foot)
DOUBTFUL
RB Kenneth Walker III (oblique)
T George Fant (knee)
QUESTIONABLE
LB Tyrel Dodson (shoulder)
LB Jerome Baker (hamstring)
The Patriots and Seahawks kickoff from Gillette Stadium at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday with each team looking to improve to 2-0.
