The New England Patriots continued preparations for the Kansas City Chiefs without three members of the active roster.
Trent Brown and Brenden Schooler marked the new absences on Thursday, joining running back Rhamondre Stevenson, who has not practiced since suffering a high ankle sprain on Dec. 3 versus the Los Angeles Chargers.
Illnesses sidelined the starting left tackle as well as the co-leader in snaps played on special teams.
Here’s the second injury report ahead of Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Gillette Stadium.
DID NOT PARTICIPATE
Patriots
- RB Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle)
- OT Trent Brown (ankle, hand, illness)
- ST Brenden Schooler (illness)
Chiefs
- RB Isiah Pacheco (shoulder)
- OT Donovan Smith (neck)
- S Mike Edwards (illness)
Brown had been limited and questionable due to lingering ankle and hand issues prior to rotating in at left tackle last Thursday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
