Wide receiver Tyquan Thornton was one of the notable absences from the New England Patriots’ lineup ahead of their preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. The exact reason for Thornton’s absence was not mentioned, but it is speculated that it could be due to injury or a coaches’ decision. The absence of Thornton and other key players could impact the team’s preparations and overall performance in the game. The Patriots will have to adjust without their star receiver as they face the Packers in a crucial preseason matchup..
The Patriots are not without injuries through the first three-plus weeks of training camp.
The following players were not spotted by reporters on hand in Green Bay before Saturday’s preseason game against the Packers:
RB Pierre Strong, RB/WR Ty Montgomery, WR Tyquan Thornton, TE Mike Gesicki, OL Kody Russey, LG Cole Strange, T Conor McDermott, DE Ronnie Perkins, CB Jonathan Jones
PUP list: RG Mike Onwenu, DE Trey Flowers, S/ST Cody Davis
NFI: T Calvin Anderson
There are no major surprises included in that list. Thornton appeared to suffer an injury in Thursday’s joint practice with the Packers. McDermott also appeared to get hurt in joint practices. Strong hasn’t practiced since last Thursday’s preseason opener against the Houston Texans. Russey appeared to suffer an injury during last Thursday’s game. Gesicki injured his shoulder this week in practice during a live tackling drill. Montgomery and Strange suffered injuries early in training camp. Perkins and Jones also haven’t been spotted in recent weeks of practice.
Onwenu, Davis and Anderson have yet to practice this summer. Flowers was immediately placed on the PUP list when he signed with the team earlier this month.
One notable omission is rookie defensive end Keion White, who also didn’t finish Thursday’s joint session. Running back Ezekiel Elliott — officially signed Wednesday — is also in uniform.
Without two starters in Onwenu and Strange, the Patriots’ starting offensive line in warmups was left tackle Trent Brown, left guard Atonio Mafi, center David Andrews, right guard Riley Reiff and right tackle Sidy Sow. That’s in line with what we saw since last Thursday’s preseason opener against the Houston Texans.
The New England Patriots have several players dealing with injuries during training camp. Some players, including RB Pierre Strong, RB/WR Ty Montgomery, WR Tyquan Thornton, TE Mike Gesicki, and CB Jonathan Jones, were not present at a recent preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. Other players, such as OL Kody Russey, T Conor McDermott, DE Ronnie Perkins, RG Mike Onwenu, DE Trey Flowers, S/ST Cody Davis, and T Calvin Anderson, have been dealing with injuries and have not been able to practice. Notably, rookie defensive end Keion White also suffered an injury, while running back Ezekiel Elliott has officially signed with the team. The Patriots’ starting offensive line has been affected by injuries, with two starters, Onwenu and Strange, out.
