New England Patriots defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth and tight end Aaron Hernandez were not at Thursday's practice during the media access portion, according to the Boston Globe.
Haynesworth (back) missed the day after practicing Wednesday. Hernandez remained sidelined by a left MCL sprain. Both players were inactive last week in the Patriots' 34-31 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Guard Logan Mankins returned to practice Thursday after missing action Wednesday with an illness.
Offensive tackle Sebastian Vollmer and defensive tackle Mike Wright also sat out Thursday.
