S Kyle Dugger (knee) is active. Even with the Pats shaking up their receiver corps, including cutting Tyquan Thornton, veteran Osborn can't get on the field. The 27-year-old seems like he could be a backup slot asset in a more pass-heavy offense, but pass-heavy this attack is not.
Both Osborn and Thornton are healthy scratches and are rumored to be trade candidates ahead of Tuesday's deadline. That should mean more snaps/potential targets for Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker, but the New England passing game is one to avoid right now.
