Patriots might be without DL Dominique Easley in Week 2

Patriots defensive lineman Dominique Easley (hip) will not practice on Thursday, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

It appears as if Easley could be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, as the 2014 first-round pick has now missed back-to-back practices. Alan Branch, Malcom Brown and Sealver Siliga should see more snaps if Easley is unavailable to play.
