New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was seen at the start of practice on Thursday, which marks the second consecutive day that he has been able to work.

After missing Tuesday's practice due to the birth of his daughter, Hernandez was seen on Thursday wearing the white game jersey he would have worn in the team's game against the St. Louis Rams in London. Hernandez was unable to make the trip with the team due to the lingering issues with his ankle.

Having last played against the New York Jets in Week 7, Hernandez has been forced to miss time sporadically this season while attempting to recover. He originally sustained the injury in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals and is believed to have re-aggravated it in Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks. His status for Sunday is still unknown.

In addition, running back Brandon Bolden (knee), defensive end Trevor Scott (hamstring) and linebacker Tracey White (foot) all missed practice on Thursday for the third consecutive day.
