Hey all --
Well apparently the flu bug has hit the Patriots' locker room a bit early, as that is the reason given for Matt Light's absence from practice today. The left tackle is one of 10 players listed as questionable for Sunday's game.
Dallas cornerbacks Anthony Henry (ankle) and Courtney Brown (biceps) have both been declared out for the contest.
Here's the full injury list:
NEW ENGLAND

CB Randall Gay - thigh
C Dan Koppen - ankle
T Matt Light - flu
RB Laurence Maroney - groin
S Mel Mitchell - groin
G Stephen Neal - shoulder
CB Asante Samuel - foot
WR Donte Stallworth - knee
LB Adalius Thomas - ankle
WR Kelley Washington - hamstring
Probable
QB Tom Brady - right shoulder
T Wesley Britt - team decision
Britt, Light and Mitchell did not practice; Gay, Koppen, Maroney, Neal, Samuel, Stallworth, Thomas and Washington had limited participation; and Brady had full participation.
DALLAS

CB Courtney Brown - biceps
WR Terry Glenn - knee
CB Anthony Henry - ankle
Doubtful
FB Oliver Hoyte - neck

Hey all --
We're just in from practice, and there are two absences to report: special-teamer Mel Mitchell and guard Wesley Britt were not on the field today.
Britt, we've been led to believe, is tending to a personal matter.
But Dan Koppen and Laurence Maroney, the starters who missed Sunday's game, were on the field, and both were spotted in the locker room today, which is generally a good sign for the player.
The practice players of the week were practice-squadders Dan Connolly, an offensive lineman, and receiver C.J. Jones. It is Jones' second black jersey this year.

The Patriots added two players and subtracted one from their practice squad today, signing center Pat Ross and cornerback Tim Mixon. Defensive lineman Zach West was cut.
Ross' signing could raise eyebrows because Dan Koppen missed Sunday's game with an ankle injury, and Ross' arrival may be a sign that Koppen will be out for a longer amount of time. Russ Hochstein started at center against Cleveland.
Ross, like Koppen, played at Boston College -- he took over the job after Koppen graduated; he spent all of last year on Seattle's practice squad.
Mixon, an undrafted rookie from Cal, is a 5-foot-9, 184 pound corner; he has spent time with the Bears and Browns.

Running back Laurence Maroney is once again listed as an inactive for today's game, the second game he's missed due to a groin injury.
Center Dan Koppen (ankle) is also out, meaning Russ Hochstein will likely serve as center.
Other inactives:
QB Matt Gutierrez - 3rd QB
S Rashad Baker
T Wesley Britt
DL Santonio Thomas
DL Kareem Brown
LB Chad Brown
By the way, we saw Marcellus Rivers in the media dining area with other inactive and practice-squad players, so it's a safe bet that he'll be re-signed this week.
Cleveland inactives:
QB Ken Dorsey - 3rd QB
P Dave Zastudil
DB Gary Baxter
RB Jerome Harrison
OL Isaac Sowells
OL Nat Dorsey
WR Travis Wilson
DL Ted Washington

Practice today returned to having perfect attendance, as center Dan Koppen (ankle) returned after missing the day entirely yesterday.
That meant that the Patriots had perfect attendance for the session, which was held in shorts and shells on an exceptionally warm October day. (No complaining here, though.)

We're just off the field for the first practice session of the week, and Rodney Harrison was back in his familiar number 37 jersey, working out with his teammates.
However, center Dan Koppen and tight end David Thomas were not on the field.
Tight end Marcellus Rivers was working with the tight ends, which could be a sign that Thomas' injury will keep him out for a while.
Practice squad players Antowain Spann and CJ Jones were in black jerseys, denoting them as practice players of the week.
The players were in shells and shorts.
