As the Patriots prepare for Monday night's game with the Dolphins, it's becoming more likely that running back Fred Taylor won't be joining them on the field in Miami. Taylor did not practice on Thursday, according to the Globe's Monique Walker, marking the second straight day he has been held out.
Taylor left Sunday's win over the Bills in the third quarter with a toe injury.
Additionally, CB Terrence Wheatley (foot) and RT Nick Kaczur (back) were not at Thursday's practice.
