For the second straight day Stephon Gilmore was missing from Patriots practice, but it doesn't appear to be physically related.
According to Karen Guergian of The Boston Herald, Gilmore's absence is not injury-related and he's dealing with a personal matter.
Other players to miss practice Friday were: N'Keal Harry, Adrian Phillips, Sony Michel (PUP), Lamar Miller (PUP), D'Angelo Ross, Yodny Cajuste, Beau Allen, Derek Rovers and Tashawn Bower.
Ross was the only new one on this list.
Second-year quarterback Jarrett Stidham was on the field the entire time, but did not participate in full. He did not make any throws in 11-on-11 work, as he reportedly has a hip injury.
The Patriots will be off on Saturday.
