According to ESPN’s Mike Reiss, Patriots wide receiver Javon Baker had an issue during the team’s trip to London that led to him getting benched.

Baker missed three consecutive games before being activated against the Jets on Sunday. His most recent action was in Week 3 when he received six snaps on special teams.

“Before the Patriots can trust rookie receiver Javon Baker on the field, the fourth-round pick from Central Florida needs to earn more trust off it,” Reiss wrote. “Baker had a ‘hiccup’ in London last week when it came to following at least one part of the team’s itinerary, according to a team source, and was inactive for a third straight game.
