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.
