FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Patriots will have a healthy complement of receivers for their AFC championship game matchup with the Steelers.

Joining him as inactive for the Steelers are receiver Demarcus Ayers, quarterback Zach Mettenberger, cornerback Al-Hajj Shabazz, linebacker L.J. Fort, defensive end Johnny Maxey and tackle Brian Mihalik.

Other inactive players for the Patriots are rookie cornerback Cyrus Jones, tackle LaAdrian Waddle, cornerback Justin Coleman, rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett, receiver D.J. Foster and safety Jordan Richards.
