3 Patriots listed as limited in Wednesday's practice in Florida
FOXBORO -- The Patriots are down in Florida for a week of practice leading up to Sunday's opener against the Dolphins. And with two important offensive players returning to the field on Wednesday, New England may be at full strength in Week 1.
Both running back Ty Montgomery and right tackle Isaiah Wynn were back on the field for Wednesday's practice, which was held at Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach. Head coach Bill Belichick said Tuesday that both players had "a shot" to play on Sunday, and their return to practice on Wednesday should greatly improve those odds.
Montgomery (knee) and Wynn (back) were both listed as limited participants in Wednesday's practice report, as was receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee). Interestingly enough, Montgomery was also listed as a wide receiver on the report.
Montgomery had been considered week to week since he was carted off the field in Las Vegas after suffering an ankle injury in New England's preseason finale three weeks ago. He is set to play important role on the offense this season, giving Mac Jones a versatile pass-catching back out of the backfield.
Miami listed 11 players as limited during its practice on Wednesday:
Salvon Ahmed, RB (heel)
Terron Armstead, T (non-injury related -- rest)
Tanner Conner, TE (knee)
Chase Edmonds, RB (groin)
Myles Gaskin, RB (neck)
Alec Ingold, FB (hamstring)
Melvin Ingram, LB (non-injury related -- rest)
Nik Needham, CB (quad)
Eric Rowe, S (pectoral)
Andrew Van Grinkel, LB (non-injury related -- rest)
Jaylen Waddle, WR (quad)
