Running back Brandon Bolden (knee), safetys Patrick Chung (shoulder) and Steve Gregory (hip), cornerback Ras-I Dowling (thigh; also placed on season-ending IR for the second straight season), tight end Aaron Hernandez (ankle), defensive end Trevor Scott (hamstring) and linebacker Tracy White (foot) all skipped the trip to the UK. The good news for them-minus Dowling-is that since the Patriots' bye week is next week, they'll have an additional week to rest and recover.
The Rams have been in London since Tuesday but only tackle Rodger Saffold (knee) and defensive end Eugene Sims (knee) have been ruled out so far. Five guys on St. Louis are questionable: wide receiver Danny Amendola (shoulder), defensive tackle Matt Conrath (knee), linebacker Mario Haggan (thigh), tackle Wayne Hunter (back) and tight end Mike McNeill (knee).
11 Patriots are questionable but I don't know how many more will sit since technically they've already reached the required amount. Defensive tackle Ron Brace (back), wide receivers Julian Edelman (hand), Brandon Lloyd (knee) and Wes Welker (ankle), tight end Rob Gronkowski (hip), linebackers Dont'a Hightower (hamstring) and Jerod Mayo (elbow), guard Logan Mankins (calf), center Nick McDonald (shoulder), cornerback Sterling Moore (knee) and tackle Sebastian Vollmer (back) are all 50/50 in the eyes of the NFL but not New England.
Load up on your supplies of Fish & Chips and London Pride (a local brew) as we get set for the Patriots' second game in London in the last four seasons.
UPDATE 10/27: Cornerback Malcolm Williams was promoted off the practice squad to the 53-man roster. He'll play tomorrow as he takes Dowling's spot.
UPDATE 10/28: Amendola, Hunter, Conrath, quarterback Austin Davis and Haggan are all inactive for the Rams.
Mankins has also been declared inactive for the Patriots, meaning Donald Thomas will start. Yikes.
