The New England Patriots have issues in their wide receiver room that go beyond the players' performance on the field.
Those concerns were addressed during a team meeting on Thursday. As our Phil Perry explained, the Patriots demanded more professionalism from their players, particularly their young wideouts.
That includes fourth-round draft pick Javon Baker, who was inactive for last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. The 22-year-old claimed he didn't feel well enough to play in the Week 7 matchup, but it indeed was a team rules violation that led to his benching.
