Corner Carlos Rogers (calf) and running back/kick returner Rock Cartwright (groin) will not play against New England on Friday. Right tackle Mike Williams (ankle) is still questionable despite having practiced today. Receiver Devin Thomas will get some work as a kick returner in place of Cartwright.
Rogers said he’s not sure how much time, if any, he’ll receive vs. Jacksonville in the preseason finale. He said he’s not concerned about it nagging him during the season. But he also said he won’t return until it feels normal to make sure that doesn’t happen. After going through Shawn Springs’ calf injury last season, they will allow Rogers to take his time.
