Patriots Injury Report: Why Running Back Missed Practice Ahead Of Dolphins Game
The latest Patriots injury report revealed the reason for Ty Montgomery’s practice absence and saw the addition of one offensive lineman.
Montgomery, a running back/receiver and New England’s primary kick returner, missed the Patriots’ second Week 8 practice for personal reasons, according to the team. He was listed as a limited participant Wednesday due to a knee injury.
Offensive tackle Vederian Lowe was the lone new addition to Thursday’s report. He was limited in practice with an ankle issue.
Lowe suffered an injury late in Sunday’s win over Buffalo after briefly replacing starting tackle Trent Brown, but he was a full participant Wednesday.
Offensive tackle Calvin Anderson did not practice Thursday after being limited with an illness the previous day.
Defensive end Keion White was able to practice in a limited capacity for the first time since suffering a concussion in the Patriots’ Week 6 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, boosting his chances of suiting up this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.
