Danny Amendola active today, Bengals missing key players



Additionally, Kenbrell Thompkins, Aaron Dobson and Leon Washington are all active. Washington has struggled with injuries and has only been active in one game so far. It's possible that with Ridley out and Blount handling most of the runningback duties, Washington could finally see time as kick returner. That would only make sense though, and this is the Patriots we're talking about.

Amendola has not seen game action since Week 1, when he hauled in some clutch catches to help the Patriots come from behind and win. He has been out with a groin injury.

Danny Amendola returning to action is bad news for the Bengals, who will be without some of their best defensive players.


Leon Hall is one of the best corners in the league, and would've drawn Danny Amendola in coverage most of the time. Michael Johnson being out really helps out the Patriots offensive line, who have the daunting task of handling Geno Atkins today.
