Devin McCourty, Dominique Easley Practice With Patriots, Shake Injuries

FOXBORO, Mass. — It appears veteran safety Devin McCourty and rookie defensive tackle Dominique Easley avoided serious injuries in the New England Patriots’ win Sunday night.

McCourty (rib) and Easley (shoulder) were present for the Patriots’ walk-through Wednesday afternoon. Neither player finished the Patriots’ 43-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Linebacker Dont’a Hightower (knee) missed the game but participated in practice. Cornerback Darrelle Revis (hamstring), wide receiver Danny Amendola (head) and Don Jones also practiced after being banged up against the Bengals.

Only offensive lineman Cameron Fleming (finger) and safety Nate Ebner (finger) were absent from practice.

The Patriots were in sweats for the week’s first practice. Wide receiver Brian Tyms was the first player on the field.
