FOXBORO — From Gronk to Minitron, the Patriots continued to re-morph into a team similar to the one that flew out of the gates with 10 consecutive victories.
Wide receiver Julian Edelman returned to practice on a limited basis yesterday, just 26 days after breaking his left foot in a win against the Giants. Tight end Rob Gronkowski was back on the field Thursday after missing four practices and one game with a sprained and bruised right knee.
The pair shared a jovial high-five while they stretched together, and Bill Belichick had a good laugh at the duo in the background, probably playing to the audience a day after a spirited embrace from Belichick and Gronkowski.
