FOXBORO — One has to wonder when or if the attrition will finally be too much.

While every NFL team deals with injuries, the Patriots have a pressing issue at right tackle. Starter Marcus Cannon injured his ankle against the Los Angeles Chargers on Oct. 29 and has not played since. LaAdrian Waddle stepped in and performed admirably before he went down with an ankle injury in Sunday’s win against the Miami Dolphins.

Neither Cannon nor Waddle participated in practice yesterday, so there exists the possibility the Pats will be looking at Cameron Fleming as the starter this Sunday in Buffalo against the Bills.
