New England Patriots cornerback and defending Defensive Player of the Year, Stephon Gilmore was absent from practice on Thursday, according to reporters on the scene. The reason for his absence was unclear.
The other absences were as follows: receiver N’Keal Harry, safety Adrian Phillips, running backs Sony Michel (PUP) and Lamar Miller (PUP), tackle Yodny Cajuste, defensive tackle Beau Allen and defensive ends Derek Rivers and Tashawn Bower. Like Gilmore, Phillips and Cajuste are new to the list of players missing from practice.
Undrafted rookie receiver Jeff Thomas made his first appearance at practice in front of the media. As far as reporters have seen, this is his first practice in a Patriots uniform.
