FOXBORO -- There were several absences at New England's full-pads practice Friday: WR Jesse Holley, S Sergio Brown, RB Shane Vereen, RB Jeff Demps, TE Tyler Urban, OL Nick McDonald, OL Matt Kopa, DL Kyle Love, T Sebastian Vollmer, TE Visanthe Shiancoe, LB Niko Koutouvides, and DL Marcus Harrison.
LB Tracy White, RB Stevan Ridley, S Pat Chung, and LB Brandon Spikes are back in action.
Cutdown Day breeds a special brand of paranoia regarding attendance. Those with known injuries are Vereen (foot), Demps (leg), McDonald (arm), Kopa (ankle), Love, Vollmer (back), Shiancoe (hamstring), and Koutouvides (wrist).
Will the four remaining players be cut? Have they been cut already? We'll find out soon enough.
