CB Johnson Bademosi (illness) added to Patriots injury report

FOXBOROUGH — The only change in the Patriots’ injury report from Wednesday to Thursday is the addition of cornerback/special teamer Johnson Bademosi, who was listed with what the team described as an undisclosed illness. (Bademosi was seen in the locker room after practice.)



Bademosi and veteran defensive lineman Alan Branch were the only two DNPs at Thursday’s practice. It was the second consecutive missed practice for Branch; with the re-acquisition of Ricky Jean Francois, it’s now likely Branch will miss Sunday’s game against the Steelers in Pittsburgh.
