New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, who has missed one game with what the team is calling a chest injury, returned to practice Wednesday. Quarterback Tom Brady, however, did not practice with the team.
It was not immediately known why Brady did not practice.
Brady took a hit in his right quadriceps from Seattle's Kam Chancellor on Nov. 13 and had been getting extra treatment, but he has not appeared on the Patriots' injury report.
Earlier Wednesday, sources told ESPN that Gronkowski was not expected to play this Sunday against the New York Jets.
