Here’s some of the latest rumors and updates on the Patriots before their game with the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
Tom Brady to miss Sunday’s game?
Tom Brady, the New England Patriots quarterback, may not play Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
According to NFL.com, Brady was limited in Friday’s practice with an ankle injury and was designated as questionable against the Bills.
The Patriots have not confirmed the injury as usual.
But NFL’s Ian Rapoport, the injury is deemed as minor, meaning that he will likely play.
Jeff Howe with the Boston Herald first reported that Brady was listed as “questionable.”
Darrelle Revis likely to match up with Watkins
Darrelle Revis, the standout cornerback who has been lining up against the opposition’s top receiver in five games with his new team, wouldn’t commit to doing it again Sunday against Buffalo rookie Sammy Watkins.
‘‘I can’t tell you the game plan, buddy,’‘ said a laughing Revis on Friday before traveling to Buffalo. ’'I’m looking forward to the game on Sunday. I’m looking for us to go up there and win -that’s the main goal.
‘‘Whatever my assignment is, it is. I just gotta go out there and play and compete.’’
Bryan Stork out?
If Brady plays, he probably will be without center Bryan Stork.
According to NBC Sports, “Also, center Bryan Stork was held out of practice, and his head injury was disclosed as a concussion, meaning he'll have to be cleared by an independent neurologist before he can return. That will add another wrinkle to the Patriots’ offensive line, which was far from stable previously.”
Stork, a rookie, is one of the many changes to the Patriots’ offensive line in 2014.
He suffered a head injury on Thursday.
Brandon Browner likely to miss?
NESN reported that Cornerback Brandon Browner was missing from practice with an ankle injury.
Safety Nate Ebner was also missing from practice.
“The Patriots have plenty of depth at cornerback, safety and on the offensive line, but they might need to activate defensive end Jake Bequette off the practice squad with Easley likely out of Sunday’s game, Chandler Jones and Dont'a Hightower dealing with injuries and Michael Buchanan recently placed on injured reserve,” notes NESN.
