Thursday's Patriots practice in Foxoboro saw the return of Tom Brady and Devin McCourty, both in a limited role, though. Brady is listed with his now regular right shoulder and foot injuries. The more important news was the return of McCourty.
McCourty was forced to leave Sunday's game with the Bears because of a rib injury but signs are beginning to indicate may not have been that serious. Monday's tests brought no bad news and although he sat out Wednesday's practice, he was at least back on the field on Thursday, which is a good sign for his possible return Sunday night when the Packers come to town.
