If Hernandez does sit out on Sunday, it will be the second week in a row in which he practiced, but did not participate in the team’s game. In his four games this year, Hernandez managed 17 receptions for 143 yards and two touchdowns.
In place of Hernandez, wide receiver Brandon Lloyd has seen increased targets. He is third on the team, with 480 yards, behind Wes Welker and Rob Gronkowski.
Despite Hernandez's absence, quarterback Tom Brady is on his way to another stellar season. He has the fifth-best QBRating in the NFL, and has thrown just three interceptions in his first nine games.
