So after all the drama, the injury report offered pretty much the same scenario we saw at the start of the week, with the only guy officially ruled out being tight end Dwayne Allen.
Here's the official report, as released by the Patriots earlier Friday afternoon.
As for Brady's health, Greg's report here details why he wasn't on the field Friday afternoon.
After spending time around the team much of the week, I'd be shocked if any of those listed as "questionable" end up sitting Sunday against the Jets. It's also worth mentioning Sunday will likely represent a terrific opportunity for Jacob Hollister -- who appears to be as healthy as possible at this stage of the year -- to work as a complementary piece of the offensive puzzle to Rob Gronkowski..
Gronkowski met the media on Friday afternoon and sounded a seriously optimistic note about his health at this stage of the season.

"I feel good. I’m ready to go," said Gronkowski, who last played Oct. 29 in Buffalo. "Sunday afternoon in New York, it’s going to be a hostile environment. It always is. They’re a good team. They play hard. I mean, I can’t recall a game where I would say they haven’t played hard in my nine years playing them. So it’ll be a good one. It’ll be a tough one, but it’ll be a good one again."
Gronkowski was also asked about Brady.

As for the Jets, the biggest news involving their injury report involves rookie quarterback Sam Darnold being officially ruled out. It'll prevent us from seeing history, at least for now.
#Jets QB Sam Darnold will have to wait until Week 17 to face The Evil Empire.
Darnold officially ruled OUT vs Patriots on Sunday.
Josh McCown will start.
