FOXBORO — The Patriots may soon found out the true state of their depth at cornerback.
Stephon Gilmore (concussion) and Eric Rowe (groin) haven’t practiced this week, which leaves their status in serious doubt for Sunday night when the Patriots host the Atlanta Falcons at Gillette Stadium.
Rowe almost certainly won’t be available, regardless of his status today for the final practice of the week. As for Gilmore, his participation level will be the most important storyline today, as it’s been at least 2008 since a Patriot has missed a week of practice but played in the ensuing game.
