Injury update: Patriots WR Danny Amendola was hurt on another punt return

New England Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola missed practice on Wednesday with a knee injury, but returned to the field on Thursday. The Herald’s Jeff Howe has more.

“Amendola hyperextended his knee during a punt return Sunday against the Falcons, according to a source,” Howe reports. “It’s not an ideal injury, but it’s also not a major ordeal. The 31-year-old, who has a history of knee injuries, could play through it Sunday against the Chargers, but it also wouldn’t be a shock if the Patriots decided to dial back his workload with the bye week on the horizon.
