FOXBORO -- It's unlikely Tom Brady plays in Thursday's preseason opener and he certainly won't be the only one.
Here are the players not spotted on the field during pregame warmups: Matthew Slater, Sony Michel, Rex Burkhead, Harvey Langi, Marcus Cannon, Brian Schwenke, Jason King, Kenny Britt and Trey Flowers. This is a sign they will not play.
Burkhead is the biggest name on this list as he hasn't really been limited until Wednesday when he left the session early.
It seems very unlikely the starters will play much, if at all.
