FOXBOROUGH -- The Patriots did not have outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy (throat) against the Jets last week, but it appears he will return this week against New Orleans.
Van Noy returned to practice on Wednesday as all of the 53-man roster was present.
This includes Trent Brown, who missed last week with a calf injury. Brown practiced last Friday.
There was a new practice squad offensive lineman wearing No. 62, who will replace Alex Redmond who was not present.
The first injury report of the week will be released later on Wednesday.
