Rob Gronkowski misses practice White Jeremy Hill Jersey , Julian Edelman is back The New England Patriots are just two days removed from their week four game against the Miami Dolphins, and also just two days removed from their week five game against the Indianapolis Colts. Today, the team held its first practice leading up to the upcoming Thursday nighter – and one big name was missing:Did not participateAfter leaving Sunday’s game due to a re-aggravated ankle injury, Rob Gronkowski was not present for today’s walkthrough. While his absence does not per se rule the NFL’s best tight end out for Thursday’s game yet, it is not the best sign when it comes to his availability in two days. The Patriots holding Gronkowski out against Indianapolis and giving him additional time to rest is therefore a realistic scenario from today’s point of view.Meanwhile, Eric Rowe is still hampered by the groin he injured during New England’s week two game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The team’s number two cornerback missed the last two contests because of the issue and it would not be a surprise to see him sit out this week’s game as well. The same could hold true for LaAdrian Waddle, the team’s third offensive tackle.Limited participationAdam Butler and Elandon Roberts both left Sunday’s game against the Dolphins due to injury, so seeing them back on the field today is a good sign when it comes to their long-term availability. Like Geneo Grissom and Jacob Hollister, the two defenders are relative question marks heading into week five. Josh Gordon, Brandon King and Danny Shelton http://www.authenticsnewenglandpatriots.com/cheap-patrick-chung-jersey , on the other hand, should be expected to play on Thursday.Full participationOne player that was presumably participating fully during today’s practice but is not listed on the injury report is wide receiver Julian Edelman. The 32-year old returned from a four-game suspension yesterday but currently finds himself on a roster exempt list. Until he gets off the exemption and onto the Patriots’ active 53-man roster, the team does not need to list him on its practice report.Patriots’ 2018 team captains to include first-timers James White and Patrick Chung In three days, the New England Patriots will open their 2018 regular season against the Houston Texans. Before the game and season gets started, the Patriots’ team captain will walk out for the first coin toss of the year (and likely call tails). Now, as first reported by the Boston Globe’s Jim McBride, we know who those captains will be:Four of the six players listed above have already served as team captains last season: Tom Brady has been a captain since 2002, while Devin McCourty and Matthew Slater were both promoted to the roles in 2011. David Andrews, on the other hand, received the honor for the first time in 2017.The two new additions have been with the Patriots for quite some time but never actually served as captains: Patrick Chung White Trent Brown Jersey , a second-round pick in 2009, spent all but one season of his NFL career in New England and has repeatedly been among the team’s most emotional contributors. Meanwhile, James White joined the team in 2014 and has since grown into the leader of the team’s offensive backfield.While Chung and White have joined the captains, three players have been removed from the list: tight end Rob Gronkowski, linebacker Dont’a Hightower, and safety Duron Harmon are no longer serving as captains. Gronkowski and Hightower first received the honor in 2016, while Harmon was named a captain last year.
