Patriots vs. Colts Thursday injury report: Trent Brown among three ruled out for New England

As the New England Patriots returned to the practice fields on Thursday, so did Trent Brown.

But the starting left tackle has been ruled out ahead of the evening flight to Frankfurt, Germany. He was absent to begin work on the Indianapolis Colts due to personal reasons and an ankle issue before graduating to limited.

Wide receiver DeVante Parker and cornerback J.C. Jackson will also remain stateside as the rest of the game statuses await.

Here’s the second injury report in advance of Sunday’s 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff at Deutsche Bank Park.

Colts

For reasons outside of injury, Jackson marked the lone non-participant left for the Patriots before departing from Foxborough. And on the other side of the international matchup, three remained sidelined. The Colts announced that two of whom will not travel to Germany. But Downs, whose rookie season has included 41 catches for 483 yards and a pair of touchdowns, will do so despite a knee ailment.
