FOXBORO — Ten Patriots aren't in uniform for pregame warmups, which indicates their injury status: Matthew Slater (hamstring), Eric Rowe, Mike Gillislee (hamstring), Dont'a Hightower (PUP), Shea McClellin, Tony Garcia, Andrew Jelks (NFI), Nate Solder, Matt Lengel and Alan Branch (PUP). None of these absences are a surprise, as all have missed time recently.
On the other side, Devin Lucien is in uniform, which is a good sign for him. He was on the conditioning field yesterday and is looking to validate his nice camp with a solid preseason.
