FOXBORO, Mass. — Bryan Stork is unlikely to play in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game after missing his second consecutive practice.
The New England Patriots’ rookie starting center continues to sit out with a knee injury he suffered Saturday in the 35-31 divisional-round playoff win over the Baltimore Ravens. Stork was the lone Patriots player absent from Thursday’s practice.
The Patriots held a shells-and-sweats session on the Gillette Stadium game field, where they will play the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
If Stork can’t play, then veteran Ryan Wendell is likely to shift from right guard to center, with second-year pro Josh Kline taking over at guard.
