One day after the team signing LeGarrette Blount, Patriots running back Jonas Gray was not spotted by reporters during the early portion of practice open to the media, the Boston Globe reports.
The team has not revealed the reasoning behind Gray's absence on Friday, leading up to Week 12 against the Lions. Gray is coming off a 201-yard, four-touchdown performance against Indianapolis the previous week. His 38 carries against the Colts were the third-most by a running back in the last decade.
