Jamie Collins is back at practice, but now Jerod Mayo is missing

According to reports out of Pats practice today, veteran linebacker and team leader Jerod Mayo was absent for unknown reasons. Meanwhile, Jamie Collins, who missed Sunday's game in Minnesota with a thigh injury, was back out there.

A good news/bad news situation today, though we do not have confirmation yet that Mayo is in fact missing due to injury. Certainly a situation to monitor as the week goes on.

Other injury news out of practice: cornerback Alfonzo Dennard was back in full pads after he was a late scratch on Sunday due to a lingering shoulder injury.

If there is a week for the Patriots to potentially give some starters some rest, it may be this Sunday against the lowly Raiders.
