Mark Daniels of the Boston Herald and Doug Kyed of NESN both reported on Twitter (see below) that rookies Aaron Dobson and Kenbrell Thompkins both traveled to Denver with the team.

Thompkins suffered a concussion in the divisional game against Indianapolis and passed his first test which allowed him to practice, but still has to pass another test to be eligible to play, according the Boston Herald. Dobson aggravated a stress fracture in Week 17 against Buffalo, according to the Herald.

They are both listed as questionable, but the Patriots have until tomorrow to make a decision, according to the Herald. The fact that they traveled is a good sign, though, and if they can play, even better for the Pats. They can take the pressure off Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola in the passing game, even if they only play a couple of snaps during the game.
