Revis Dismissed From Practice

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis missed practice on Tuesday after being sent home for tardiness by coach Bill Belichick, according to a Boston Globe report.
After playing on Thursday night against Revis' former team, the New York Jets, Patriots players were given the weekend off before returning to practice Tuesday. The players were to meet at 7:30 a.m. for meetings and Revis was apparently late, though it is not known how late he was.
Revis was asked about his absence from Tuesday's practice in the locker room on Wednesday.
'Between me and Coach,' Revis said. 'Talk to him about it.'
Belichick was not asked about Revis' absence during his Wednesday morning news conference.
The report cites sources saying that Revis accepted being sent home and understands that Belichick's rules apply to everyone. In the past, Belichick has sent players home, including former linebacker Adalius Thomas and star wide receiver Randy Moss.
The most recent player to be sent home for tardiness was linebacker Brandon Spikes, who is now with the Buffalo Bills. Spikes missed a practice after arriving late to a team meeting during a snowstorm. Spikes tweeted a picture of his snow-covered car when the incident occurred.
Because the Patriots have a longer week to prepare for this Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears, the team is practicing four days instead of the usual three. The Patriots were not required to put out an injury report for Tuesday's practice or explain why any players were absent.
Revis was at practice on Wednesday and in full pads.
