The Patriots added linebacker Jamie Collins was added to the team’s injury report after Thursday’s practice with a hip issue.

A key cog in the New England front seven, Collins was listed as limited in practice today.

It’s yet unclear whether or not Collins finished practice after suffering the hip injury. More information about the injury and his status for Sunday’s home contest against the Bengals will be available on Friday.

Collins is putting in another strong campaign in his contract year. So far in 2016, he has one sack, two interceptions, and 32 total tackles. If Collins can’t go against Cincinnati, it’ll put an even bigger dent in the linebacking core that is still missing Jonathan Freeny and has Dont’a Hightower still easing back into the swing of things after missing time earlier this year with a knee injury.
