Dorsett (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Giants.
On a short week, Dorsett never seemed very likely to suit up after tweaking his hamstring in Sunday's win over Washington. The Patriots' No. 3 wideout will now look to recover in time for the team's Oct. 21 tilt against the Jets. With Dorsett unavailable, Jakobi Meyers should see added snaps in Week 6 behind starting receivers Julian Edelman (chest) and Josh Gordon (knee). Both of those wideouts are officially listed as questionable but seem likely to play.
