The New England Patriots will likely play Sunday’s game in London without tight end Aaron Hernandez, who didn’t make the trip, according to an NFL.com report.
Citing a source, the NFL Network reported that Hernandez stayed behind as his team prepares to face the St. Louis Rams. He played the last two weeks after missing time with a high ankle sprain.
The Patriots have their bye week following the game at Wembley Stadium, and may be taking this opportunity to get Hernandez ready for the second half.
