FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots rookie center Bryan Stork was the only player missing from the team’s practice on Wednesday.

Stork, their starting center, injured his knee during the second quarter of Saturday’s win over the Baltimore Ravens and did not return.

When Stork exited the game, right guard Ryan Wendell shifted to center and reserve lineman Josh Kline played right guard. The Patriots could use this combination again or experiment with different line combinations if Stork is unavailable for Sunday’s AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

Cornerback Brandon Browner, who also injured his knee in the third quarter Saturday and watched the remainder of the game from the sideline, was practicing. Browner was in a great mood in the locker room and said he is feeling good. He will address the media on Thursday.

Head coach Bill Belichick was hands on with his players during the stretching portion of practice. He was hyping up his players and raising the intensity level. During the regular season, Belichick usually talks with coaches during the stretching portion.

Belichick also spent a lot of time with the running backs, wide receivers and tight ends as he was putting a high emphasis on ball security.

The Patriots were in full pads and the practice was held inside of Gillette Stadium on the game field.
