53 Kyle Van Noy LB

Van Noy (calf) doesn't appear on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Titans.

Van Noy, who missed three games in December with a calf injury, returned for the regular-season finale but was clearly on a snap count considering he only logged 12 plays on defense. The Patriots' first-round bye afforded him extra rest and he should be in for a full workload this time around.

Van Noy (calf) is listed as active for Sunday's tilt against the Jets.

Van Noy was originally considered questionable for Sunday after missing the Patriots' last three games due to a calf injury, but the starting outside linebacker was able to practice in limited fashion throughout the week. If the team elects to proceed cautiously and potentially limit Van Noy's snap count with the playoffs looming in the near future, Marquis Flowers or newcomer James Harrison could see additional reps.

Van Noy has missed three consecutive games and was a limited participant in practice this week to earn the questionable tag. Given his injury issues this season, the Patriots may err on the side of caution with the 26-year-old since the playoffs are right around the corner.

Van Noy will be missing his third game in a row due to his calf injury that limited him in practice this week. Look for Marquis Flowers to get the start in Van Noy's absence once again.

Van Noy was questionable last week as well before being downgraded to out and was a limited participant in practice this week. The 26-year-old has sat out the past two games and Marquis Flowers would likely see another start at weak-side linebacker if he is unable to play Week 16.
