The team released their first injury report of the year on Wednesday, and the news of the day came from some of the big names who didn't practice, with wide receivers Julian Edelman (foot) and Randy Moss (illness) both held out of practice, as was runningback Laurence Maroney (thigh).
As usual Tom Brady made the list with his perrenial "shoulder" injury. It's worth noting that Terence Wheatley was held out, and according to published reports he was seen wearing a boot on his injured foot. If that's the case it's doubtful we'll see him this weekend.
In the meantime here's the full list per the team's release:
FULL PARTICIPATION
CB Kyle Arrington (groin)
DT Ron Brace (ankle)
QB Tom Brady (right shoulder)
LB Jermaine Cunningham (ankle)
DE Brandon Deaderick (toe)
TE Aaron Hernandez (knee)

WR Matt Slater (hamstring)
DID NOT PARTICIPATE
WR Julian Edelman (foot)
