As we inch another day closer to Sunday's New England Patriots-Tampa Bay Buccaneers showdown, the Patriots still have several players whose statuses are in the air for the highly-anticipated matchup.
All seven players who were limited in Wednesday's practice were limited again Thursday and as expected, running back James White (hip subluxation) did not participate. The only change to New England's practice report was the addition of safety Kyle Dugger, who was limited with a hamstring injury.

On the Bucs' side, ex-Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski once again did not practice as he recovers from a rib injury suffered in Week 3. The rest of the report is unchanged except for wideout Jaydon Mickens being upgraded from limited to a full participant in practice.
Tom Brady, who sounded hoarse during his press conference Thursday, doesn't appear to be dealing with an illness as he was not listed.
