Patriots center Bryan Stork limited at practice

PHOENIX -- New England Patriots starting center Bryan Stork, who injured his right knee in the AFC divisional round playoff victory over the Ravens and missed the AFC Championship Game, remains a limited participant in practice leading up to Super Bowl XLIX.

Stork said this week, "I'm working with the trainers every day, working hard, doing my best and getting better."

Stork started 12 games for the Patriots this season (11 in the regular season, one in the playoffs) as his inclusion into the lineup helped solidify some early struggles for the offensive line. In his absence in the AFC title game, the Patriots shifted veteran Ryan Wendell from right guard to center, and inserted second-year player Josh Kline at right guard.

In addition to Stork, linebacker Dont'a Hightower (shoulder), defensive tackle Chris Jones (left elbow) and defensive tackle Sealver Siliga (foot) were the only other players limited.

Quarterback Tom Brady (ankle) was listed as a full participant.
