Light listed as doubtful

Posted by Chad Finn, Globe Staff October 16, 2009 04:31 PM

Patriots tackle Matt Light, who was knocked out of last week's loss at Denver with a knee injury, is listed as doubtful on the team's injury report for Sunday's matchup with the winless Tennessee Titans.

Under league guidelines, a doubtful listing means there is more than a 75 percent chance a player will not play. If Light is out, rookie Sebastian Vollmer is expected to start in his place.

The Patriots have five players listed as questionable: defensive backs James Sanders and Shawn Springs, defensive linemen Ty Warren and Vince Wilfork, and tight end Benjamin Watson.

Wide receiver Randy Moss was added to the report today after having limited participation in practice because of a shoulder issue.

Wide receiver Wes Welker and linebacker Jerod Mayo were among those removed from the report today.
