New England Patriots training camp is well underway. After five practices, the injury count is a bit eye opening.
Here is the list of absentees from practice yesterday, according to Mark Daniels of the Providence Journal:
The Patriots had a lengthy list of absent players that included Matt Flynn, Matt Slater, Brandon LaFell, Tyler Gaffney, Chris White, Dane Fletcher, Marcus Cannon, Ryan Wendell, Caylin Hauptmann, Joe Vellano, A.J. Derby, Chris Jones and Alan Branch.
Recent additions to the absentee list on Tuesday were Cannon and Vellano. Vellano left Sunday’s practice early, so it’s not too surprising to see him held out.
