Patriots Practice Report: Bryan Stork Absent, Unlikely To Play Sunday

FOXBORO, Mass. — New England Patriots rookie center Bryan Stork is almost certain to miss Sunday’s AFC Championship Game.

Stork missed all three days of practice this week after injuring his knee last Saturday in the Patriots’ 35-31 win over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC divisional playoff round.

The Patriots practiced on the Gillette Stadium game field in shells and sweats Friday.

With Stork likely out, second-year pro Josh Kline is expected to take his spot on the starting offensive line. If Kline doesn’t get the call, Cameron Fleming, veteran Marcus Cannon and Jordan Devey also are in the mix.
