FOXBORO, Mass. — Some assorted notes and nuggets from Thursday’s New England Patriots practice outside Gillette Stadium:
— Wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (broken collarbone) and running back Ty Montgomery (ankle) remained sidelined. There also was one new absence: starting right tackle Isaiah Wynn, who was not spotted during the open media portion of practice.
Wynn was limited in Wednesday’s practice and missed time during last week’s joint practices in Las Vegas, though he returned to play in last Friday’s preseason finale.
Wynn’s status bears monitoring ahead of next Sunday’s regular-season opener against the Miami Dolphins. If he can’t go, Justin Herron or Yodny Cajuste likely would fill his spot in the starting lineup.
