Multiple Patriots, Panthers Players Miss Practice

The New England Patriots were without OLB K'Lavon Chaisson at Wednesday practice with a knee issue; Chaisson played 76% of defensive snaps in Week 3 and has seven tackles and 1.5 sacks on the season, and he has two more practice sessions before Sunday’s game in Carolina. Jared Wilson also missed practice with ankle and knee problems, while TE Hunter Henry cleared the session after playing the second half of last week’s loss with a knee issue. The Carolina Panthers missed three receivers at Wednesday practice — rookies Tetairoa McMillan (calf) and Xavier Legette (hamstring), both listed day-to-day, and Hunter Renfrow (personal). Renfrow’s absence was due to the birth of his child and he is expected to return Thursday, and McMillan leads all rookie pass catchers with 216 yards on 13 receptions, making his potential absence a notable loss. Carolina additionally listed non-participants Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) and D.J. Wonnum (hip). Both teams enter Week 4 with a couple more practice days to determine final availability.
