The New England Patriots have announced their inactives for the AFC Championship against the Indianapolis Colts:
Bryan Stork, C; Chris Jones, DL; Zach Moore, DE; Brian Tyms, WR; James White, RB; Jordan Devey, OL; Josh Boyce, WR
Chris Jones has been dealing with an elbow injury suffered against the Ravens and was listed as questionable. He's a special teams contributor for the Patriots, as well as a rotational presence on the defensive interior. In his absence, look for more Akeem Ayers on the edge and Chandler Jones inside on passing downs.
Brian Tyms is a healthy scratch with Gray returning and the Patriots expected to run the ball more than they did a week ago. Cameron Fleming returns to action to help beef up the offensive line, while Jordan Devey remains inactive even with Bryan Stork out.
The Colts have also announced their inactives:

The big absence for them is defensive end Bjoern Werner. Cornerbacks Vontae Davis and Greg Toler, both questionable and limited throughout the week, are active.
