Patriots Injury Report: Why Davon Godchaux Missed Thursday’s Practice

Davon Godchaux apparently was feeling under the weather on Thursday.

The Patriots defensive tackle missed practice due to an illness, according to the Thursday injury report. Godchaux was a full participant on Wednesday.

Receiver DeVante Parker (concussion) and tackles Trent Brown (ankle/knee) and Calvin Anderson (illness) all missed practice after also sitting out Wednesday. Anderson now has missed a week of practice, but Patriots head coach Bill Belichick recently said the illness isn’t related to the one that wiped out Anderson’s summer.

In positive news, tight end Pharaoh Brown returned to practice in limited fashion after being held out Wednesday due to a back issue.

Here’s New England’s full injury report:
