The Patriots have multiple question marks on their roster ahead of Sunday's rematch with the Buffalo Bills.
As was the case Wednesday, receiver Nelson Aghlor and running back Rhamondre Stevenson both missed Thursday's practice due to a concussion and illness, respectively. New England wideout Kendrick Bourne also remained out while on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Bill Belichick on Wednesday said Bourne still could play Sunday if he clears the NFL's return-to-play protocols.
Aside from the removal of special teamer Matthew Slater, who was limited Wednesday due to a non-COVID illness, Thursday's injury report mirrors Wednesday's.
