FOXBORO -- Bill Belichick has his team participating in a walkthrough this afternoon in the indoor practice area.
Jabaal Sheard (ankle), Marcus Cannon (toe) and Rufus Johnson (illness) were not spotted during the media portion of practice.
None of the three participated in practice last week, and it would be unlikely to see them in action Thursday night.
All of last week's limited participants were spotted, including running back Dion Lewis.
Today's walkthrough means the Patriots will not have a padded practice before the game against the Dolphins, and highlights the importance Belichick has put on recovery during the short week.
