The New England Patriots were back on the practice field Wednesday to prepare for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers, and they had several players return to action from injured reserve and the COVID reserve list.
Two of the most notable additions at practice were starting center David Andrews and right guard Shaq Mason. Andrews came off injured reserve after missing the last three games with a hand injury. Mason returned from the COVID reserve list and was a limited participant at practice.
Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman, defensive lineman Adam Butler and defensive back Kyle Dugger also were limited at practice Wednesday.
