Colts

“I don’t know about that yet,” Hasselbeck said, via Colts.com. “I would hope that I could (play).”

“I did get X-rays and I’m in a little bit of pain,” Hasselbeck said. “I got hit on the top of the head and kind of just got my head compressed into my neck.”

Patriots

• ESPN’s Adam Schefter (per Evan Silva) mentioned on Monday’s NFL Live that based on the “conversations I’ve had,” Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (knee) is “unlikely” to play in Week 14.
