Patriots' Chris Hogan: Listed as questionable after practicing all week

Hogan (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams after practicing in a limited fashion all week.

Analysis:

The loss of star tight end Rob Gronkowski for the rest of the season shouldn't affect Hogan's workload much, as he's been seeing plenty of snaps when healthy. The development should, however, lead to the Patriots using more three-wideout sets, which could lead to rookie Malcolm Mitchell seeing added opportunities (perhaps at Hogan's expense) in the Patriots' offense.
