Tyquan Thornton is trending in the wrong direction as the New England Patriots wide receiver has been a healthy scratch for four out of the last five games.
And Thornton surprisingly wasn’t out on the practice field Thursday.
The Patriots revealed why when they released their injury report later in the day. Thornton isn’t injured but missed the practice session due to personal reasons.
New England’s defensive line is still in the same troubling spot it was in Wednesday. Defensive tackle Jaquelin Roy and defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. both missed practice for the second straight day ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Rams at Gillette Stadium.
