The New England Patriots may be getting tight end Aaron Hernandez back for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. The young star was listed as questionable after practicing on Thursday for the first time since suffering a high ankle sprain against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2.
The other tight end in the Patriots' offensive attack, Rob Gronkowski, is also listed as questionable as he battles a hip injury. Gronk was out of practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday.
The Broncos and Patriots are both 2-2 ahead of their Week 5 meeting at Gillette Stadium. The Pats are coming off an impressive win, where they blew out the Buffalo Bills in the second half to win by a convincing, 52-28, score. The Broncos also had a strong performance in Week 4, as they dominating the Oakland Raiders en route to a 37-6 win.
