After playing on Thursday night last week, the New England Patriots head into their week 9 matchup with the visiting Washington Redskins coming off a mini-bye. With the additional rest, the team should have gotten healthier but looking at today's injury report that hasn't exactly been the case.
Cannon and Sheard are on their way to miss yet another game, even though their respective injuries were originally considered to be of the minor sort. Cannon's injury status in particular needs to be watched closely as New England is thin on the offensive line – especially considering that Tre' Jackson also missed today's practice and that Shaq Mason and Ryan Wendell were limited.
