FOXBORO -- There was a new player missing from Patriots practice on Thursday.

Cornerback Eric Rowe was not spotted at the media portion of the session, which comes after he was limited Wednesday with a groin injury and didn't travel to Detroit last weekend.

After missing the game against the Lions with concussions, Patrick Chung and Trey Flowers were present again for the second straight day. This is good news as it relates to their availability for Sunday against the Dolphins.

New England will practice once more Friday before Sunday's game.
