New England Patriots running back Danny Woodhead is listed as doubtful on the injury report with an ankle injury and is not expected to play against the New York Jets. Woodhead missed all three practices this week with the ankle injury. The extent of Woodhead's injury is unknown, but the fact that he did not practice at all all week seems to indicate it's possibly more than just a simple sprain.
