The Broncos budding star tight end with 10 touchdowns already on the season may miss today's game.

Julius Thomas has been listed as questionable with a knee injury, and according to Ian Rapoport it's looking less and less likely he'll play tonight.

RotoWorld:

Appearing on GameDay Morning, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported it's "not looking good" for Julius Thomas (knee) to play Sunday night against the Patriots.

That's great news from a Patriots perspective, as you can now cross one of the four dangerous receivers Denver employs off the list.

Still, Thomas' backup Joel Dreesen isn't a complete slouch, and Peyton Manning can elevate just about any player. The Pats will have their hands full trying to stop Demayrius Thomas, Wes Welker and Eric Decker.
