Report: Aaron Hernandez Not Expected to Play Sunday Against Bills Due to Ankle Injury

The Patriots have five tight ends on their active roster, but that doesn’t mean they’re all going to play Sunday against the Bills.

Aaron Hernandez is not expected to play in the Patriots’ Week 10 matchup against the Bills due to the ankle injury that’s been bothering him since Week 2, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Hernandez practiced on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week, and is officially listed as questionable.

The Patriots activated tight end Visanthe Shiancoe from injured reserve with a designation to return on Saturday.
