Patriots linebacker Dre’Mont Jones and safety Craig Woodson were both sidelined again at practice Thursday, making it two straight days these key defensive starters have missed time with shoulder injuries.
The Injury Bug Bites Hard
It’s not just those two, either. Linebacker Quintayvious Hutchins, who was previously limited, is now completely out of practice with a knee issue. Tight end Eli Raridon is in the same boat, moving from limited to the sideline because of a thigh injury. This is starting to look rough for the squad.
Who’s Hurting and Who’s Not
Some other guys are also banged up, though they did manage limited participation. Fullback Reggie Gilliam’s knee, right tackle Morgan Moses’ foot, and safety Brenden Schooler’s back are all hurting, keeping them somewhat restricted. Good news, I guess, for offensive tackle Dametrious Crownover (knee), cornerback Carlton Davis (neck), and defensive tackle DaQuan Jones (not injury related) who were all full go.
The team’s gonna drop their injury designations after Friday’s practice for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars. You gotta wonder how deep this defensive roster is going to get stretched trying to hold it together.
