The Patriots will be facing their bitter rivals the Jets without two young talented players Aaron Dobson and James White being healthy inactives.

Dobson has been the dog house of late being a healthy inactive for several games this season. The Patriots decided to promote Jonas Gray rather than giving the rookie from Wisconsin a chance either.

White being inactive does not seem that big a deal due to his rookie status, but Dobson is another story. The former Marshall prospect was drafted in the second round last year and has yet to make his second year leap. His off season was hampered by a foot injury.
