. >> now sportscenter 5 with bob halloran. bob: not to worry you, but here' s at least three reasons why you should be worried about tom brady missing practice today due to illness. offensive lineman ryan wendell missed three games with an illness. linebacker jamie collins missed four games and defensive end rufus johnson' s season is over after being placed on the non-football injury list with an illness. patriots practicing without mr. avocado ice cream as a treat. and we know that he does not get sick very often and he does not miss practice for anything short of a court appearance. early indications are he will play on sunday. >> it' s a good day for jimmy to get some work and for us to continue to get better, but obviously, we are going to be optimistic. bob: rob gronkowski missed practice with a personal issue and julian edelman has been upgraded to doubtful. he' s been looking good at practice this week but it' s only been about a month since he had surgery on a broken bone in his foot and he is not expected to play sund

. >> now sportscenter 5 with bob halloran. bob: as we know, bill belichick doesn' t have the loose lips it takes to sink any ships or to give any indication as to whether rob gronkowski will play on sunday so, we' re left to , a three dollarso, we don' t know. gronk was at practice. he was able to do some light jogging. he has missed the last four practices and the eagles game and he' s likely to visit the texans game as well. j.j. watt is now j.j. waaaaaat? the best defensive player in the nfl says he broke his left hand . now considering there are 27 bones in the human hand, watt is not being overly specific i -- specific. i mean, help me out here was it the hamate, the lunate, the trapezium? phalanges, you' ll get no sympathy from me. that is nothing. and a guy that bill belichick says is every bit as disruptive as -- left practice today. he plans on going after tom brady sunday night. >> i' m going to try. i mean, they come after me every week with everything in the book go ahead. come at me. up to get vantage of whatever y

bob halloran his ear. bob, any reason to be concerned for sunday? practices, so he must' ve been sick and he is on the injury report as questionable. i thought about linebacker jamie collins who missed over a month with a mystery illness. other patriots have missed time due to illness as well. at this time there is no indication brady' s illness is anything two seriously serious. gronkowski. not an accident or injury. a personal matter. brady is listed as questionable. we will have more at 6:00. at erika: commitment 2016: bernie sanders' campaign targeting the democratic national committee tonight, saying they are trying to undermine his campaign and s. newscenter 5' s reid lamberty is here to explain. put, the dnc has a democratic national game has a -- national campaign has severed data grid here is why. they exploited a software glitch and improperly accessed confidential information kept by the campaign of rival hillary clinton. one insider likened to that to bugging her campaign offices listening to strategy meetings. sanders is calling the act
