Patriots' Sione Takitaki: Could return Sunday
Sione Takitaki (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.Takitaki was on the reserve/PUP list during the New England Patriots' first five games of the regular season while in the final stages of his recovery from offseason arthroscopic knee surgery. He returned for Week 6 against the Texans and logged one tackle across 22 snaps (nine on defense, 13 on special teams), but he aggravated his knee injury in the process and was unable to play against the Jaguars in Week 7.
