Patriots Report Multiple Starters Not Practicing Ahead of Raiders Game

These absences hollow the secondary plus skill positions and push roster moves and Friday designations to decide who will play on Sunday.

Overview

  • Wednesday’s practice report listed 15 injured Patriots with four players not practicing, including star cornerback Christian Gonzalez and veteran Carlton Davis III who were both absent.
  • Running back Rhamondre Stevenson did not practice and was listed limited on the report but coach Mike Vrabel said there is a chance he could play Sunday.
  • Wide receiver Mack Hollins did not practice after leaving last week’s game with a calf injury and said he hopes to return to work later this week.
  • Defensive tackle Christian Barmore returned in a limited role, Drake Maye practiced fully and was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week, and the team has elevated corners and added practice‑squad depth to cover the shortfall.
  • If starters are ruled out on Friday the Patriots would likely promote more backups, with TreVeyon Henderson projected to move up as the lead running back if Stevenson is unavailable and final game statuses set on Friday.
