Outside linebacker K’Lavon Chaisson and safety Jaylinn Hawkins did not take the field for Wednesday’s practice in Foxborough. But inside linebacker Jahlani Tavai, who spent September on injured reserve, did as his 21-day return window opened.

Days after placing rookie Femi Oladejo on injured reserve (IR) with a fractured leg, the Titans saw veteran edge Dre'Mont Jones sit out practice due to a knee injury. That was a change from Wednesday when Jones went full.

New England Patriots linebacker Harold Landry missed his second straight practice on Thursday, which puts his status for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans in doubt.

The Patriots defense is hurting at the beginning of this week. On Wednesday, the team was without its leading pass rusher as Harold Landry missed practice due to an ankle injury. The team was also without one of Landry’s backups as Anfernee Jennings missed practice with an ankle injury.

The Patriots coaching staff and players praised Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons ahead of the Week 7 matchup.

The New England Patriots will be without one of their starting safeties for a second straight week. Jaylinn Hawkins, who rarely left the field between Weeks 1 and 5, will be out again versus the Tennessee Titans due to a hamstring injury.
