Patriots' LeGarrette Blount: Listed as questionable

Blount (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

The Patriots' list of questionables goes 12-deep this week, but we expect Blount to be out there for Sunday's contest. While the return of top QB Tom Brady has led to added emphasis on the team's passing attack, Blount remains the Patriots' top power option out of the backfield, which puts him on track to continue handling the team's early-down and short-yardage work.
