3 downgraded

The Patriots have downgraded the following players to out for Sunday night's game:
RG Stephen Neal
S Eugene Wilson
ILB Eric Alexander
Neal, who is the team's starting right guard, had been on the injury report due to his shoulder. He missed the second, third and fourth games this season, but had returned to start the last five contests. He is likely to be replaced by Russ Hochstein. This also means that Billy Yates, who has been inactive for three of the last four games, will be active Sunday night.
Wilson (ankle) and Alexander (knee) had not been spotted at practice throughout the week and were not expected to play.
WR Wes Welker and OLB Mike Vrabel, both of whom had been limited in practice with the team reason listed as "team decision", have made the trip to Buffalo.
