NASHVILLE — Patriots safety Kyle Dugger and wide receivers Tyquan Thornton and K.J. Osborn are inactive Sunday amid ongoing trade rumors.

The Patriots will have wide receivers Kayshon Baker, Kendrick Bourne, DeMario Douglas, Ja’Lynn Polk and Javon Baker available against the Titans. Marte Mapu, Jaylinn Hawkins, Dell Pettus and Brenden Schooler will dress at safety.

Dugger was inactive last week with an ankle injury and was questionable heading into Week 9.

Here’s the full list of Patriots inactives:

QB Joe Milton (emergency third QB)
WR Tyquan Thornton
WR K.J. Osborn
S Kyle Dugger
DT Eric Johnson

It was reported Saturday by The Athletic’s Dianna Russini that Dugger, who signed a four-year, $58 million contract with the Patriots this offseason, is available ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline.
Thornton and Osborn have been mentioned as trade candidates for weeks, but it’s difficult to imagine another team giving up much to acquire either player.
The Patriots will have Davon Godchaux, Daniel Ekuale, Jeremiah Pharms and Jaquelin Roy available at defensive tackle.
Milton can only play if Drake Maye and Jacoby Brissett suffer injuries.
The Patriots will dress nine offensive linemen: LT Vederian Lowe, LG Michael Jordan, C Ben Brown, RG/RT Mike Onwenu, RG Layden Robinson, RT Demontrey Jacobs, C Lecitus Smith, G Sidy Sow, G Zachary Thomas.
