FOXBORO, Mass. — Some assorted notes and nuggets from Thursday’s New England Patriots practice outside Gillette Stadium:
— Starting left guard Mike Onwenu returned to practice, as ESPN’s Field Yates had reported earlier in the day, indicating he’s been removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list.
But the Patriots were without both their starting left tackle (Isaiah Wynn) and his primary backup (Justin Herron). Wynn remains on the COVID list, while Herron was absent from practice one day after being limited with an abdomen injury.
If both are unavailable for Sunday’s matchup with the Dallas Cowboys, Yodny Cajuste looks like the top option to start in their place.
