FOXBORO -- Defensive back Marquice Cole (finger) missed his second straight practice Friday and is listed officially as "doubtful" for Sunday's regular season finale with the Dolphins at Gillette Stadium.
Tight end Rob Gronkowski was again officially listed as "limited" Friday and is one of 20 Patriots "questionable" for Sunday. The Patriots practiced outdoors on the main stadium field in sweats and shells for a second straight day in an effort to get ready for the bitter cold and wind expected late Sunday afternoon for kickoff. This is the third straight week Gronkowski has been listed as "questionable" on the Friday injury report as he attempts to return from a broken left forearm suffered on Nov. 18 against the Colts.
For the Dolphins, starting wide receiver Davone Bess will miss his third straight game with a bad back and was ruled out by Miami on Friday.
