Hunter Henry, Jonathan Jones present but not participating at practice; Trent Brown limited

Patriots 1st Down: Why Mike Reiss gives the Pats a "fighting chance" vs. Bills

BOSTON -- The Patriots set a season high with 20 players on the injury report on Wednesday. A day later, they got some key players back on the field -- though two of them weren't participating.

Offensive tackle Trent Brown, tight end Hunter Henry, and cornerback Jonathan Jones were all present on Thursday, a day after missing Wednesday's session. Brown is dealing with a chest injury, Henry is dealing with an ankle injury, and Jones is managing a knee injury.

While the three players were present on Thursday, only Brown participated, listed as a limited participant. Henry and Jones were listed as non-participants.

Brown ranks third on the team in offensive snap count, with Henry just behind him at fourth, so the Patriots can ill afford to lose either player on that side of the ball. Henry's lack of participation for a second straight day puts his status for Sunday in question.

Out in Buffalo, a key player got healthier as well, with Josh Allen being a full participant in Thursday's practice. He had been limited on Wednesday with a shoulder injury.

For the Patriots, Rhamondre Stevenson was removed from the report, but Kayshon Boutte was added with a hamstring injury.

The full injury reports are below.
