Patriots LT Light, RT Vollmer ill, miss Media Day

Jan 31, 2012

New England Patriots left tackle Matt Light and right tackle Sebastian Vollmer missed Media Day on Tuesday due to illness.

Light is not expected to be sidelined for long and will play in Super Bowl XLVI.

The news that he will compete may bother New York Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora, who said on Friday that Light's play “really gets under my skin.”

On Tuesday, Umenyiora offered his best wishes to Light - with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

“Matt Light, please get well soon,” Umenyiora told NFL Network. “I hope to see you on Sunday. You are one of my greatest friends.”

For his part, Vollmer has been sidelined for the last seven games with both back and foot injuries. He may play on Sunday, according to coach Bill Belichick.
