Both the Patriots and Packers continue to deal with dynamic injury situations involving key players heading into their matchups on Sunday. While Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) missed practice for the second consecutive day on Thursday, the Packers had multiple key players out.

Among those missing for the Packers was a pair of All-Pro starters in tackle David Bakhtiari (knee), and cornerback Jaire Alexander (groin). Bakhtiari is still working his way back from a torn ACL, and played his first game of the season last week when he was on the field for 56 percent of the Packers’ snaps against the Buccaneers. Alexander was hurt early in last week’s game after playing every snap over the first two weeks.
