6 rings: what are patriots fans rooting for?
The Patriots practiced on Friday afternoon, for the first time outside this week, as they finish their prep for their New Year's Eve contest against the Bills on Sunday.
Here’s what stood out of the practice fields outside of Gillette Stadium:
Attendance:
Absent:
WR JuJu Smith-Schuster
S Kyle Dugger
IR:
CB Marcus Jones
DL Daniel Ekuale
CB Christian Gonzalez
LB Matthew Judon
OT Riley Reiff
OT Tyrone Wheatley Jr.
OT Calvin Anderson
WR Kendrick Bourne
OL Cole Strange
OT Conor McDermott
RB Rhamondre Stevenson
Other Notes:
- The big news on Friday was that safeties Jabrill Peppers (hamstring) and Jalen Mills (concussion) both returned to practice after being absent all week.
- The bad news? Safety Kyle Dugger, who hasn't been on the injury report this week, wasn't there. This puts his status for Sunday in question.
- WR JuJu Smith-Schuster missed practice for a second consecutive day with an ankle injury while Kayshon Boutte, who missed Thursday's practice due to personal reasons, was back on Friday.
