Patriots practice again on the Gillette Stadium field without some of their stars

Just like yesterday, the Patriots practiced on the Gillette Stadium field, doing so in helmets-and-shells. Coach Bill Belichick called it a good day of work and said he hoped for the same today. What did we see out there? The same five players who were out yesterday were also missing today. QB Tom Brady, nursing a sprained left shoulder, was tops on that list, and he’s making good use of the rest. In addition, WR Wes Welker, G Logan Mankins, OT Sebastian Vollmer, and OT Marcus Cannon. Joining them was RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis, who was off the Injury Report last week with his toe healed. No injury report this week, so we may not know details… Oh, and as-expected, OC Bill O’Brien, who is interviewing at Penn St. today, was not present.
