Aaron Dobson out of Indianapolis Colts clash

New England Patriots wide receiver Aaron Dobson has been ruled out of his side's AFC divisional round playoff clash with the Indianapolis Colts.

The 22-year-old sustained a re-occurrence of a foot injury in the last game of the regular season in the Patriots' win over the Buffalo Bills, and despite having an extra couple of weeks to recover, he is still not ready for action.

Fellow wideout Kenbrell Thompkins is questionable for the showdown at Gillette Stadium, along with cornerback Alfonzo Dennard.

Dobson has 37 receptions on the season for 519 yards and four touchdowns.
