"An apparent stomach bug has affected the New England Patriots this week, as starting left tackle Matt Light missed practice Monday and was kept out of Media Day on Tuesday because he is ill, according to a team official.

Two other players are also under the weather. Right tackle Sebastian Vollmer also skipped Media Day with illnesses, according to head coach Bill Belichick, while linebacker Jerod Mayo attended but said he has a cold.

Other team personnel have also fallen sick, according to the team official."
