Brissett, who has started the last two games for New England, missed practice on Friday. He was set to return to the sidelines with starter Tom Brady returning from a four-game suspension.

The third-round pick completed 34 of 55 across three games with 400 yards, adding 83 and a touchdown on the ground. The Patriots won Brissett’s first two games before being shut out in Buffalo last Sunday.
