Patriots Injury Report: Jamie Collins (Thigh) Limited In Practice Thursday

FOXBORO, Mass. — The New England Patriots might want to sign a linebacker before Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Linebacker Jamie Collins was added to the injury report Thursday with a thigh injury. Tight end Rob Gronkowski (knee), defensive tackles Chris Jones (ankle) and Sealver Siliga (hand), defensive end Michael Buchanan (ankle) and center Ryan Wendell (knee) also were limited in practice.

The Patriots drafted Collins with a pick they acquired from the Vikings in 2013. The Patriots traded their first-round pick (No. 29 overall; used to select wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson) to the Vikings for second-, third-, fourth- and seventh-round draft picks.

The Patriots already are low on linebacker depth with just Collins, Dont’a Hightower, Jerod Mayo, Rob Ninkovich, Darius Fleming and Chris White on the roster.
