New England Patriots wide receiver Brandon LaFell has been absent from the first couple of OTA sessions so far for the Patriots, however, no one knew exactly why.

On Wednesday, it appears the reason has been discovered as LaFell has been seen in a walking boot. Check out this photo evidence from teammate Danny Amendola's charity event:

Considering there is plenty of time before the season begins, Patriots fans shouldn't worry too much. It should be pointed out that LaFell battled through several injuries during the team's Super Bowl run including a shoulder and toe injury. It appears the toe is still healing and causing him to miss some work during OTAs.
