Kyle Van Noy and Demaryius Thomas are among the surprise inactives.
Thomas is dealing with a nagging Achilles injury that appears more serious than previously thought.
Van Noy’s wife is reportedly in labor and is with her as she gives birth. The team was reportedly aware of this possibly happening.
#Patriots LB Kyle Van Noy is inactive tonight because his wife is in labor, source says. The team knew from early today this was a possibility.

Rookie JoeJuan Williams sits this one out as the depth at cornerback inhibits any chance of him getting on the field barring injuries.
