Burfict, Jones inactive for unbeaten Bengals

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) Linebacker Vontaze Burfict and wide receiver Marvin Jones are inactive for the Cincinnati Bengals as they try to remain unbeaten.

Burfict is missing his second straight game after suffering a concussion. Jones is out with a sore ankle and has been sidelined all season after breaking a bone in his left foot during training camp. Left guard Kevin Zeitler also is out of Sunday night's game against the New England Patriots with a calf injury.

Inactive for the Patriots are linebacker Dont'a Hightower with a knee injury and cornerback Alfonzo Dennard with a shoulder injury.

Wide receiver Aaron Dobson is active for the second time. He wasn't on the injury report during the three games he missed after catching 37 passes as a rookie second-round draft choice last season.
