A bug seems to be going around the New England Patriots locker room with multiple players dealing with an illness.
Cornerback Marcus Jones missed practice on Wednesday due to the illness, but he was able to return as a limited participant on Thursday. However, safety Jaylinn Hawkins was a non-participant.
The Patriots were also missing defensive tackle Jaquelin Roy and wide receiver Javon Baker, who is currently in concussion protocol. Along with the three absences, the Patriots listed 11 players as non-participants at Thursday’s practice.
Here is the full injury report for the Patriots:
