Patriots might be without two starters and a key special teams player

FOXBOROUGH – It appears like the Patriots will be without two starters on Saturday. A big question following Thursday’s practice is if they’ll be missing a key special teams player as well.

Neither DeVante Parker (concussion) nor Jalen Mills (groin) practiced on Thursday. This day marked the final full practice of the week for the Patriots, who will hold a walkthrough on Friday. At this point, it would be a surprise if the Patriots had either Parker or Mills for their Saturday matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Missing with Parker and Mills, however, was long snapper Joe Cardona.
