The Patriots had a busy holiday on the practice field.
Quarterback Tom Brady (Achilles), tight end Rob Gronkowski (illness) and safety Patrick Chung (ankle) returned to practice on a limited basis after all three missed the initial workout of the week. Brady will play Sunday against the Dolphins, according to a source.
However, tight end Martellus Bennett (shoulder, hamstring) didn’t participate despite being limited yesterday. He played through both injuries Sunday against the Raiders and hasn’t missed a single game in his season-plus with the Patriots despite dealing with an array of serious injuries.
Center David Andrews (illness), right tackle Marcus Cannon (ankle) and wide receiver Chris Hogan (shoulder) remained out of practice.
