With a pivotal game against the Miami Dolphins coming up, the New England Patriots are getting one of their better weapons back. JuJu Smith-Schuster, the Pats' big offseason acquisition this year, will be returning from his injury. Meanwhile, sophomore WR Tyquan Thornton is a healthy inactive, per Ian Rapoport.

“#Patriots WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, who hasn't played due to a concussion since Oct. 8, will make his return to the lineup today. Despite some other WRs rising over the last couple weeks, he will be active, source said.”

“– #Jets WR Randall Cobb is a healthy scratch, as is #Patriots WR Tyquan Thornton.”

To say that the Patriots have been struggling on offense this season would be a massive understatement. For most of the year, the team has struggled to put points on the board. It's not just one problem: everything is an issue within the Pats. From the personnel to the coaching to the quarterback, everything across the board is just… sub-par.

Last week, the Patriots had a much better outing on offense against an unlikely opponent. The Bills, heralded as one of the best teams in the league, lost in large part due to the offense turning in a season-best performance. With the return of Smith-Schuster, fans are hoping that this hot streak will continue.
