Brady Will Play, Jaguars Safety Gipson Active For AFC Title Game Vs. Patriots

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (CBSBoston/AP) - Jaguars free safety Tashaun Gipson is active for Sunday's AFC championship game against the Patriots.

Gipson had been listed as questionable with a foot injury. The inactive players for Jacksonville are running back Chris Ivory, defensive ends Eli Ankou and Carrol Phillips, linebacker Deon King, and offensive linemen Chris Reed, Josh Walker and Williams Poehls.

The Patriots will be without running back Mike Gillislee (knee), defensive lineman Alan Branch (knee), offensive lineman LaAdrian Waddle (knee), tight end Jacob Hollister, receivers Kenny Britt and Bernard Reedy and linebacker David Harris.

And, not a surprise, Tom Brady, will be starting the quarterback, despite an injury to his hand during practice this week.

Brady reportedly injured his right hand in a collision with Rex Burkhead in practice on Wednesday.

Brady was listed as questionable after he hurt his right hand during practice earlier in the week. He was limited Wednesday, sat out Thursday and was limited again Friday because of the injury.

Brady has never missed a playoff start during his 18-year career and is expected to be under center as the Patriots try for their third Super Bowl trip in four years. The quarterback said only, "We'll see," on Friday when asked if he would play.
