HOUSTON -- It hasn't been a good week for Patriots defensive ends. They'll be without another one for Saturday's preseason game against the Texans, according to CSNNE's Phil Perry.
Geneo Grissom is a surprise absence for the Pats. He joins the likes of Derek Rivers, whom the Pats fear could be out for the season, as Pats not in uniform in Houston.
Also out for Saturday’s game are Dont’a Hightower, Nate Solder, Matthew Slater, Shea McLellin, Mike Gillislee, Matthew Slater, LeShun Daniels, Matt Lengel, Brandon King, Antonio Garcia, Deatrich Wise, Andrew Jelks and LaAdrian Waddle. Wise suffered a head injury in last week's preseason opener.
