Patriots return to practice to prepare for Bills amid 'tough' week for players

FOXBORO -- It's impossible to know what was going on in their heads, but Patriots players and coaches looked as they often have during their pre-practice warmup routine this year.

Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton danced to an OutKast song blaring from speakers on the sideline. Jamie Collins and DeMarcus Mitchell threw a football around. Mac Jones and Damien Harris executed an elaborate handshake.

That's not to say it was business as usual at Gillette Stadium on Wednesday, though.

Media availability was canceled for the day, as it was in Buffalo, as the football-watching world waits on news of Bills safety Damar Hamlin's improvement.
