FOXBORO -- The New England Patriots will be without safety Kyle Dugger for the third straight game on Sunday. He isn't the only defensive starter that will be missing when the Patriots take on the Bears in Chicago.
In addition to Dugger, linebacker Christian Elliss was ruled out by New England on Friday.
Patriots' Week 10 Injury Report
Dugger missed the entire week of practice as he recovers from an ankle injury he suffered back in Week 4 in San Francisco. Head coach Jerod Mayo said that Dugger will be back this season "for sure," but the injury will have caused him to miss four of the last six games come Sunday.
