Gearing up on a short week for a Thursday night matchup with the Atlanta Falcons, the New England Patriots saw some positive news on this week’s injury report. After missing last week’s contest against Cleveland, both running back Damien Harris and returner Gunner Olszewski cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol and practiced this week, setting the stage for their Week 11 return.
Meanwhile, New England also activated veteran pass rusher Chase Winovich from the injured reserve. Winovich has not played since Week 5 due to a hamstring injury. In a concurring move, the Patriots did lose pass rusher Josh Uche, who was placed on the IR with an ankle injury.
