FOXBORO, Mass. — There was both good and bad news that came out of Wednesday’s Patriots practice, which was conducted in full pads.
The good: Guard Mike Onwenu returned to the field after missing Tuesday’s walkthrough. Onwenu, who underwent ankle surgery during the offseason, suffered an ankle injury in last Sunday’s home loss to the New Orleans Saints.

Matthew Judon also was absent, as expected. He reportedly could return from his biceps injury sometime in December.
Additionally, wideout Tyquan Thornton practiced for the second day in a row. The Patriots have 20 days to activate the second-year pro off injured reserve.
Cornerback Jack Jones also remained absent despite being eligible to return to practice. He, Douglas and Smith-Schuster all worked on the rehab field.
