Key Patriots Receiver Misses Second Consecutive Practice
The practice was held inside Gillette Stadium
FOXBORO, Mass. — The New England Patriots continue to be in relatively good health with the season opener fast approaching.
But there’s one notable exception.
Receiver DeVante Parker on Thursday missed his second consecutive practice due to an undisclosed injury. The veteran wideout reportedly isn’t dealing with anything serious, but the absences are concerning.
Tackle Riley Reiff, center James Ferentz and receiver Tyquan Thornton also missed practice, which was conducted inside Gillette Stadium. Thornton reportedly will be placed on in-season injured reserve sometime this week.
Thursday’s session also provided reporters with their first look at rookie cornerback Christian Gonzalez wearing No. 6. Gonzalez previously wore No. 19 during the preseason.
The Patriots will take the next three days off before reconvening next Monday to prepare for the season opener.
New England will begin its season on Sept. 10 at home against the Philadelphia Eagles.
