The New England Patriots could get some reinforcements back in Week 18.<\/p>\n

New England is set to host the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, as the Patriots have the chance to become the AFC\u2019s No. 1 seed. Ahead of the game, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel gave a positive injury update on two key players.<\/p>\n

Starting offensive tackle Will Campbell and starting defensive tackle Milton Williams are both eligible to be activated off injured reserve this week. Vrabel said it\u2019s looking good for both of them to play this weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looks good,\u201d Vrabel said<\/a> on Friday, via Chad Graff.<\/p>\n

Campbell missed the last four games\u00a0with a right knee injury. He\u2019s expected to start at left tackle for New England on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Williams, meanwhile, also missed the last four games due to an ankle injury. The 26-year-old has been an impact player for New England this season as he\u2019s recorded 27 tackles and 3.5 sacks.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Along with Campbell and Williams being back, Vrabel said the plan is to play the starters on Sunday to try and win the No. 1 seed.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course,\u201d Vrabel said<\/a> on Wednesday. \u201cAnybody that\u2019s healthy. We\u2019re going to do everything we can to win the football game.\u201d<\/p>\n
