Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker missed his second straight practice Thursday.

Parker is “fine,” according to a league source, though he hasn’t been spotted since walking through the locker room late Tuesday. The 30-year-old is expected to start this season after a strong summer. He is one of five wide receivers remaining on the roster after the Patriots placed Tyquan Thornton on injured reserve Wednesday.

Parker was one of three players absent at Thursday’s, including offensive linemen Riley Reiff and James Ferentz. Reiff hasn’t practiced in more than a week. Players will take a three-day break starting Friday before returning next week to begin preparations for their season opener on Sept. 10.
