Full participant Wednesday
Cardona (personal/calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Cardona missed the Patriots' Week 6 loss to the Texans due to a personal matter, but he had also been dealing with a calf injury. Wednesday's full practice suggests that New England's top long snapper has moved past both issues, and he's expected to return for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars in London.
Dealing with personal matter
Cardona was ruled out of Sunday's game versus the Texans due to a personal matter, not a calf injury, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports. The details surrounding Cardona's hiatus aren't clear at this point. New England's first official practice report of the week Wednesday could provide some clarity on his availability for Week 7.
Sidelined for Week 6
Cardona (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com reports. Cardona has been among the most reliable long snappers in the league for the last nine years. His absence could affect New England's special teams play Sunday.
