FOXBORO, Mass. — It was good news all around at the Patriots' Thursday practice.
Cornerback Devin McCourty (rib) and quarterback Tom Brady (right foot) returned to the field after missing Wednesday's session. This could be a good sign for McCourty's status Sunday against the Packers.
However, the Patriots remained thin along the defensive line. Gerard Warren (knee), Ron Brace (concussion), Myron Pryor (back) and Mike Wright (concussion) all missed Thursday's session, which was held in sweats and shells in some much nicer weather than Wednesday's freezing practice.
