The Patriots' first injury report of Week 9 is much smaller than it has been in recent weeks, but still includes negative developments surrounding some key contributors.

New England had four players sidelined with Trent Brown (Ankle/Knee), Calvin Anderson (Illness), Pharaoh Brown (Back) and DeVante Parker (Concussion) all missing from Wednesday's practice.

It's the second straight week Anderson has missed practice with an illness while Trent Brown practiced leading up to and played against the Miami Dolphins, but was unable to participate to start preparations for the Washington Commanders.

Parker and Pharaoh Brown are new additions, both suffering injuries against the Dolphins.
