The Patriots surely weren’t pleased to have seven players miss practice Wednesday, but nearly all of them returned Thursday.
New England was still without rookie wide receiver Ja’Lynn Polk (concussion) and guard Layden Robinson (ankle) when they took the back fields at Gillette Stadium on Thursday, but saw linebacker Anfernee Jennings (shoulder/knee), offensive lineman Vederian Lowe (ankle), running back Rhamondre Stevenson (foot/personal reasons), defensive lineman Keion White (ankle) and linebacker Curtis Jacobs (knee/illness) all return.
Stevenson and Jacobs were listed as full participants, with the former returning from a personal absence and the latter returning from an illness. Lowe returned after being absent for the last several practices, while Jennings only missed a single session.
Drake Maye (knee) was removed from the list entirely, which is the real news here. Daniel Ekuale (abdomen) and Raekwon McMillan (back) were added as limited participants.

The Jets also had a rather lengthy injury report, with quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee, ankle, hamstring) remaining a limited participant. New York did see linebacker Quincy Williams (neck), defensive lineman Will McDonald (shoulder) and cornerback Michael Carter II (back) return as full participants, however.
