Brady Back On Injury Report; Gronk Out As Pats Return To Practice

FOXBOROUGH, MA — Tom Brady isn't out of the woods yet when it comes to the cut his hand.

Brady, who was not listed on Wednesday's injury report, was limited in practice Thursday with a right hand injury. Brady has been dealing with the cut since last Wednesday when Rex Burkhead accidentally ran into him. The cut required stitches, which Brady said Sunday he hopes to have removed soon.

Tight end Rob Gronkowski was once again absent due to a concussion suffered late in the second quarter of the AFC Championship. Defensive lineman Malcom Brown, who is dealing with a foot injury, rounded out the list of players who did not participate.

Running back Mike Gillislee (knee), offensive lineman LaAdrian Waddle (knee), and safety Devin McCourty (shoulder), were listed as limited in practice.

In Philadelphia, linebacker Dannell Ellerbe took part in a full session despite a hamstring injury while running back Jay Ajayi was limited with an ankle injury and Kenjon Barner did not practice due to an illness.
