Right tackle Trent Brown also missed practice for the second straight day. Brown, who played every snap in the team's win over the Steelers, has been sidelined by an ankle injury. Defensive lineman Denico Autry (knee) and wide receiver Justin Watson (concussion) were also out of practice. They did not practice on Wednesday either.

The New Orleans Saints held a light walkthrough in the wake of a normal practice Wednesday, but still had a number of players missing from the session.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze returned to practice Friday for the first time in three weeks. Odunze had not participated in practice since Dec. 12. The second-year receiver hasn’t appeared in a game since the Bears beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Nov.

The Texans, who are on a short week after playing Monday night, likely won't have wide receiver Nico Collins against the Patriots.

The Buffalo Bills have lost yet another wide receiver to a torn ACL. On a side note, the wide receiver played an entire half of football with the injury.
