FOXBOROUGH -- When the Patriots take to the field this Sunday in Carolina against the Panthers, they could be doing so without their top three cornerbacks to start the season.
Stephon Gilmore was traded to the Panthers, Jonathan Jones is on injured reserve and now J.C. Jackson has missed the first two days of practice this week due to illness.
Jackson was the lone Patriot to miss Thursday's session. If he cannot play, the Patriots would have Jalen Mills, Joejuan Williams, Myles Bryant, Shaun Wade and Justin Bethel at cornerback.
The Patriots also had 11 players limited.
