Patriots Practice Notes: Key Defender Returns Ahead Of Saints Game

FOXBORO, Mass. — The New England Patriots had perfect attendance at practice Wednesday for the first time since Week 1.

Starting inebacker Kyle Van Noy, who missed all of last week and Sunday’s 25-6 win over the New York Jets with a throat injury, was back at practice as the Patriots began preparations for this Sunday’s matchup with the New Orleans Saints at Gillette Stadium.

Right tackle Trent Brown also was present. A calf injury kept him out of the Jets game, but he was able to practice in a limited capacity last Friday.
