Patriots Practice Report: Key Starter Returns, Newcomer Debuts
There also were two surprises absences
FOXBORO, Mass. — There was a surprising amount of news that came out of Thursday’s Patriots practice.
Perhaps most notably, receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kayshon Boutte both were absent after practicing Wednesday. Smith-Schuster has been nursing an ankle injury and was limited Wednesday, but Boutte wasn’t listed on the first Week 17 injury report, making Thursday’s absence a surprising development.

New England will practice again Friday before traveling to Buffalo on Saturday.
Sunday’s game between the Patriots and Bills is scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. ET.
