FOXBORO, Mass. — Four Patriots were absent from the team's 106th and final practice of the regular season, which was held outside in sweats and shells.
Tight end Aaron Hernandez (hip), right guard Dan Connolly (concussion), defensive lineman Ron Brace (elbow) and defensive lineman Mike Wright (concussion) were all missing.
Quarterback Tom Brady was present for all three workouts this week.
Bill Belichick said Friday that the team was taking the practice field for the 106th time since training camp, and that count doesn't include Saturday walkthroughs.
