Collins tipped to play for NFL Patriots

New England linebacker Jamie Collins has been tipped to play in the NFL playoff against Denver on Monday (AEDT).

New England Patriots linebacker Jamie Collins is expected to play in Sunday's AFC Championship Game at the Denver Broncos despite being listed on the team's injury report as questionable.

Collins sustained a back injury during last week's divisional NFL playoff win over the Kansas City Chiefs and has trained on a limited basis all week.

Wide receiver Matthew Slater, who was questionable with a shin injury, also made the trip to Denver and is expected to play on Sunday (Monday AEDT).

Guard Tre Jackson (knee) and tackle LaAdrian Waddle (shoulder) were downgraded from questionable to out.

The Patriots promoted linebacker Kevin Snyder from the practice roster to the 53-man roster squad.

Snyder, 23, is an undrafted rookie free agent of the Detroit Lions.

After his release in October, he signed with the San Francisco 49ers' practice squad in late November.

He was then released a week later and picked up by New England on December. 16.
