New England Patriots defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth missed his fourth straight practice on Tuesday, and exactly why is still unclear. Conditioning shouldn’t be the issue, considering he passed his test and had been dominating early on in camp.

“Hopefully he’ll be out there in a day, a matter of days,” Belicheck said. “Unfortunately we have a number of players in that category.”
