The New England Patriots get a big boost to their offense as wide receivers Mohamed Sanu and Phillip Dorsett are both expected to play against the Houston Texans, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

This should give Patriots fans more than enough reason to at least look forward to their upcoming matchup against the Texans.

It's important for the Patriots that they have as many of their playmakers ready to play as it's going to be another rough game against the Texans this year. The Texans aren't extremely effective defensively this year, but that doesn't mean that they're going to be walking over them without any problems.

This year's Patriots don't look that hot on offense either. The receiving corps has been riddled with injuries throughout the year, and Tom Brady himself is not in full health. He's currently nursing an elbow injury.

However, that doesn't mean that the Patriots aren't building up for another deep playoff run. Julian Edelman has been working with the team's younger wideouts, imparting his knowledge and techniques to them.

Brady himself is going to play through his injury, saying that injuries are a part of the game.

“I think self-preservation for a football player – yeah, I wouldn’t be in the self-preservation business if I was trying to be a football player,” Brady said, via the New England Patriots. “So, you’re going to get hit and you’ve just got to understand that’s part of the game.”

With TB12 looking more determined than ever, it's shaping up to be another big game for the Pats.
