2 downgraded
By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff
The Patriots have downgraded safety Mel Mitchell and offensive tackle Wesley Britt to out for Sunday's game.
Mitchell is a core member of the Patriots� special teams units. Last week, he played on the punt coverage, kickoff coverage, punt return, kickoff return and field-goal block unit. Look for receiver Kelley Washington to possibly fill some of those roles in place of Mitchell, who has been battling a groin injury.
Britt is a backup offensive tackle who has experience on both the left and right sides. He did not practice this week due to personal reasons.
No other players on the injury report were downgraded to out. Patriots coach Bill Belichick said on Friday that running back Laurence Maroney would be a game-time decision.
