Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman has overcome his concussion, and safety James Sanders has recovered from a hamstring injury. Both players will play Sunday against the Chargers.
However, defensive lineman Ron Brace is inactive for the first time this season, and he was not listed on the team's injury report this week.
Running back Fred Taylor (toe) and safety Jarrad Page (left calf) were ruled out Friday due to their respective injuries. Joining Taylor, Page and Brace on the Patriots' inactive list were offensive lineman Rich Ohrnberger, wide receiver Taylor Price, cornerback Terrence Wheatley, defensive lineman Kyle Love and tackle Mark LeVoir, all five of whom were not listed on the injury report.
Cornerback Kyle Arrington will also play after aggravating his groin injury last week. He was limited in practice all three days.
Edelman, who suffered a concussion after receiving a forearm to the head from Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, missed Wednesday's practice and was limited Thursday and Friday.
This is the third consecutive game Taylor has missed with a toe injury, and it's the first game Page has missed. Ohrnberger is inactive for the third consecutive week. Love is inactive for the fourth straight game. LeVoir is out for the second consecutive week. Price and Wheatley have yet to suit up this season, but this is the first time Wheatley has been a healthy scratch after being listed with a foot injury for five consecutive games.
