Week 14 Patriots vs Ravens inactives: Matt Slater returns, but Patriots thin at receiver

The New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens have announced their inactives for week 14.

Patriots inactives

CB Eric Rowe
OT LaAdrian Waddle
DT Woodrow Hamilton
S Jordan Richards
RB D.J. Foster
WR Danny Amendola
WR Griff Whalen

Rowe is battling a hamstring injury, while Richards is still recovering from a knee injury. Waddle and Hamilton are standard healthy scratches as the 4th options on the roster.

Most curious is the team’s decision not to activate Foster or Whalen in the absence of Amendola, who is out with an ankle injury. The Patriots will rely on Julian Edelman and Chris Hogan out of the slot, with Malcolm Mitchell on the outside.

Also, ST Matthew Slater is making his return after missing time with a foot injury.

Ravens inactives

CB Chris Lewis-Harris
RB Lorenzo Taliaferro
RB Javorius Allen
OG Ryan Jensen
OG Alex Lewis
TE Crockett Gillmore
LB Za’Darius Smith

No surprises for the Ravens.
