FOXBORO, Mass. — LB Adalius Thomas and WR Joey Galloway both will not be suiting up for the Patriots today against the Titans. Neither had been listed on the injury list this week.
Head coach Bill Belichick said Thomas has been playing like "the rest of the defense" this week but declined to go into much detail about him. It's possible that Junior Seau, signed this week, could start in Thomas' place. Thomas was listed as the game-day starter on the flip card against the Titans, having started all season long.
Galloway has been a disappointment since joining the Patriots, unable to fulfill the team's need for a No. 3 receiving target opposite Randy Moss and Wes Welker.
Also listed as inactive for New England is OLT Matt Light, FB Fred Taylor, S James Sanders, OG Rich Ohnrberger, CB Terrence Wheatley and DT Ron Brace.
The Titans will be without starting CBs Nick Harper and Cortland Finnegan today, along with DE Jevon Kearse. Also inactive: S Vincent Fuller, OG-C Leroy Harris, WR Lavelle Hawkins, TE Craig Stevens and DT Sen'Derrick Marks.
The Titans signed CB Rod Hood to the active roster this week, and he'll play today.
