Patriots Exclude Harold Landry from AFC Championship Game
The New England Patriots face a significant challenge as they prepare for the AFC Championship Game against the Denver Broncos. The team will be without their top sack leader, edge rusher Harold Landry. His absence is due to a knee injury that has sidelined him for the match.
Harold Landry Ruled Out
Head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed Landry’s status during a Friday press conference. The edge rusher has not participated in practice this week, leading to concerns about his availability for the crucial matchup.
Questionable Players
Alongside Landry, three additional players are labeled as questionable for the game. These include:
- Mack Hollins – wide receiver (abdomen injury)
- Carlton Davis III – cornerback (concussion protocol)
- Marte Mapu – linebacker (hip injury)
Hollins is currently on injured reserve. The Patriots must make a roster decision by Saturday afternoon to possibly reinstate him for this critical game.
Looking Ahead
The Patriots aim to overcome these obstacles as they strive to secure a place in the Super Bowl. With key players missing, their performance against the Broncos will be crucial in determining the outcome of the AFC Championship Game.
