McCourty Misses Practice, Welker Limited
FOXBORO (CBS) - Patriots corner Devin McCourty missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday.
McCourty suffered separated shoulder in the Patriots 37-16 win over the Jets on Sunday after getting hit by teammate Sterling Moore while trying to tackle Plaxico Burress.
McCourty currently leads the team with 59 tackles. If he cannot go on Monday night, Antwaun Molden will likely get his first career start.
Linebacker Brandon Spikes, who injured his right knee two weeks ago in New England's loss to the Giants, also missed practice. He has not hit the field since suffering the injury.
