A few familiar faces were back on the practice field for the New England Patriots on Wednesday afternoon.
Dont’a Hightower, Danny Amendola, and Matthew Slater were all back at practice on Wednesday after missing the past game in New Orleans over the weekend due to injuries. Hightower was nursing a knee injury, while Amendola was dealing with a concussion and Slater had a hamstring problem.
