The Patriots listed a season-high 16 players on their first injury report of Week 7.
Five did not practice Wednesday: defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, linebacker Dont’a Hightower, cornerbacks Jonathan Jones and Shaun Wade and D-end Deatrich Wise. Wise was present at practice but did not participate.
