Brandon Lafell was missing from Patriots practice yesterday. While the team was not required to put out an injury report yesterday it appears he was missing due to illness.
Brandon LaFell missed today's practice with strep throat, per source. Pats don't need that going around.

Strep throat can be very contagious and the Patriots were wise to keep him out of practice. Depending on what stage of the illness he is in he could miss a few more days. Possibly putting his availability for Sunday in question.
Hopefully its something that he is about over and no one else on the team contracts it.
Update: Lafell is back at practice
Brandon LaFell (strep throat) returns to practice. Dominique Easley and Chandler Jones remain absent.
