Wide receiver Aaron Dobson out of Week 13 clash

New England Patriots wide receiver Aaron Dobson will miss Sunday's clash with Houston Texans, having suffered a foot injury.

The rising star picked up the knock as the Patriots came back to beat Denver Broncos 34-31 in a nail-biting encounter last Monday.

Dobson was replaced by Kenbrell Thompkins in the second half of the Week 12 game, with reports suggesting that the rookie will do the same again on Sunday.

The Patriots find themselves at the top of the AFC Eastern Division going into Week 13's encounter.
