Wide receiver Aaron Dobson was added to the Patriots’ injury report Monday with a back injury, and his status for Monday night’s game against the Bills is questionable.

Martin and Dobson both figure into the Patriots’ plans to move forward without Edelman, so they could find themselves shorthanded for the game if both players wind up on the wrong side of game-time decisions.
With top wide out Julian Edelman suffering a fractured left foot last week, the Patriots are now left with just three true wide receivers (Danny Amendola, Brandon LaFell, Chris Harper).
Dobson was targeted twice in the game and had one catch for 17 yards before he was injured in the second quarter.
Despite the fact that he hasn’t contributed much, the Patriots need as many healthy pass-catchers as possible. But Dobson came down awkwardly and left the game with an ankle injury. “He’s another guy who shows up in practice a lot, makes a lot of catches in practice against the defense, and gets open”.

Dobson’s absence didn’t hurt the team much Monday.
