The Pat's 2 best run defenders (High + MB) and one of TB's go-to guys are out. Sounds like a time to get on those 8 points the pats are giving.

Special teams captain Matthew Slater (hamstring) has returned home instead of remaining with the Patriots in Colorado Springs. Likely out vs. Raiders.

At 32, I think Slater is on the back 9 of his career. Get the hamstring well. Catch a TD pass from TB in the last regular season game. Be a playoff monster.
Malcom Brown is back at practice but Hogan, Cannon, and Slater are absent per Jeff Howe. Volin says Eric Rowe and Cassius Marsh were also present.

WR Chris Hogan (shoulder) and OT Marcus Cannon (ankle) remain back in Massachusetts to rehabilitate their injuries.
I still think Mitchell isn't coming back this season. Hopefully next year though. Love the kid.
Yep. Gave the broncos too much credit. That was a fun one to be dead wrong on though.
Is it just me or has there been an unusual amount of "Mid week surprise" Injuries this year.
Guy gets dinged in a game and doesnt practice Tuesday, weds and Thursday you get it.
But guys playing the whole game, practicing early in the week then missing Thursday and not flying seems like its happened alot this year.
I assume (??) its a practice injury rather then if they had something that they could aggravate. Seems like they would limit that exposure.
Not trying to assign blame on anyone just commenting on bad luck i guess.

kyed: The Patriots’ injury report likely will be released around 7:30 p.m. ET. We’ll get a better sense of why Andrews didn’t practice after that is released.

Andrews wasn't listed on the injury report after yesterday's practice so it doesn't sound like something happened in practice that injured him, but I guess we'll find out later
I think they can get by with another interior lineman for a couple of weeks. With the exception of QB, this team has been and will be able to do the next man up thing well all year and in some cases play better, as the injuries to bigger name players mount (Hightower, Gilmore, Brown, Cannon, Hogan to name a few). Last week there was panic about LaAdrian Waddle blocking Von Miller and they gave him help and made it work.

Malcom Brown practiced again today. He appears not to have any brace or heavy tape job on injured ankle that cost him 2 games.

David Andrews listed as OUT (illness), along with Slater (hamstring), Hogan (shoulder) and Marcus Cannon (ankle).

Has there been any local media on what the illness is?

IANAD, but altitude sickness usually kicks in the first 12-24 hours you are higher up, then your body adjusts. If he practiced at Air Force for a couple days, I doubt it was because of altitude sickness that he had to miss a day, especially after coming from Denver.
Sounds like Mitchell is actually making his way back?

I certainly hope he's fully recovering and ready to rock, but in the end it won't be his decision. It's really a race between Hogan's shoulder and Malcom Brown's ankle. Brown seems to be ready to come back, but if there's a setback, or another DL goes down, the odds shift toward Valentine coming off IR (assuming he's healthy), not Mitchell.

I think Mitchell would become the #2 receiver if he came back today. That seems much more important than Valentine.
Am I wrong to think DL depth is easier to cover with practice squanders? WRs with a track record with Brady seem much harder to find than big bodies. Grissom (I know he's more of a DE than an inside guy) and Mike Purcell seem more like to contribute than Cody Hollister.

Counterpoint: the offense is the best in football without Mitchell all year. The run defense and front seven generally is the weakest link on the team.
Where are all the "We never should have traded Jimmy!" hot takes?
The Pats are 16.5 favorites with Brady. They would still be favored if Hoyer got the start.

Andrews OUT again for second week in a row with illness (again undisclosed).
Anybody know what it is and how serious it is?

"Linebackers Trevor Reilly (head), Kyle Van Noy (leg) and Marquis Flowers (leg), defensive end Trey Flowers (ribs) and safety Nate Ebner (knee) all suffered injuries in the Week 12 matchup. Offensive lineman LaAdrian Waddle (ankle) also left the game.
Reilly, Van Noy, Ebner and Waddle, who was spotted after the game in a walking boot, didn’t return to the game. Marquis Flowers did finish, and Trey Flowers came back onto the field for a series before leaving again and departing for the locker room."
