FOXBORO, Mass. — It appears the New England Patriots will need to shake up their starting offensive line again.
Rookie center Bryan Stork was absent for the start of Friday’s Patriots practice after suffering a head injury on Thursday. Players who miss practice on Friday are unlikely to play in that week’s game.
Cornerback Brandon Browner (ankle), safety Nate Ebner (finger), offensive lineman Cameron Fleming (finger) and defensive lineman Dominique Easley (shoulder, knee) also weren’t spotted at practice.
The Patriots have plenty of depth at cornerback, safety and on the offensive line, but they might need to activate defensive end Jake Bequette off the practice squad with Easley likely out of Sunday’s game, Chandler Jones and Dont’a Hightower dealing with injuries and Michael Buchanan recently placed on injured reserve.
