FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- While New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is expected to play in Sunday's season opener, Bill Belichick has listed him as questionable on the club's final injury report of the week.

Brady was limited in Friday's practice. In the past, Brady has been listed as probable, so the questionable designation sheds light that the calf injury he suffered in Wednesday's practice is more than just a passing ailment.

Elsewhere, tight end Rob Gronkowski is officially questionable. He said Friday in the locker room that he had nothing to add to his remarks Monday, when he said he was ready for action.

Finally, the absences of defensive end Michael Buchanan (Aug. 28, sprained ankle) and defensive tackle Chris Jones (Aug. 7, sprained ankle) were expected.
