New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead returned to the field for Friday’s practice, his first time back in almost two weeks. He still might not be available to play, but he’s clearly close to a return with a short week of practice after facing the Carolina Panthers.

The Patriots had full attendance, which is something the Panthers couldn’t claim on Friday, as it appears unlike for a handful of their key players to take the field on Sunday.
