The New England Patriots were missing edge rusher K’Lavon Chaisson and safety Jaylinn Hawkins at practice on Wednesday.
Chaisson is still fighting through a lingering knee injury, and Hawkins is dealing with a hamstring injury. Both injuries will be worth monitoring throughout the week as the team prepares for Sunday’s primetime showdown with the Buffalo Bills.
