Derrick Burgess spent another day away from practice. For a change, no one seemed upset. Not even the linebacker whose chance for a starting job faded when the New England Patriots obtained Burgess, a strong pass rusher and two-time Pro Bowl player, from the Oakland Raiders. "You can't worry," Pierre Woods said Friday. "It's good that the guy's on the team. He's coming in to help and that's all that matters. We're trying to work together. We're trying to win games, and that's it." Coach Bill Belichick had been trying to fill the outside linebacker spot left vacant when he traded Mike Vrabel to the Kansas City Chiefs in February. Burgess held out of Oakland's training camp in hopes of forcing a trade. On Thursday, about four months after Belichick first talked to Raiders owner Al Davis about a deal for Burgess, the Patriots and the player joined forces. New England gave up undisclosed draft considerations that Belichick said should be determined in a few weeks. Burgess played left defensive end in Oakland's 4-3 alignment but figures to play linebacker in New England's 3-4.
