Gray missed Friday's practice after reporting late to the Patriots' facility, the Providence Journal reports.

Analysis:

The report confirms that Gray is not injured, but it remains to be seen if his tardiness affects his playing time against the Lions this weekend at all. Gray is coming off a 201-yard, four-touchdown effort against the Colts this past Sunday, but a tough matchup against Detroit, as well as Friday's development, appear to be cause to temper expectations some with regard to his Week 12 fantasy prospects.
