Following up on an item in this week's Team Notes. ... According to ESPN.com's Field Yates, starting left tackle Nate Solder, who missed Wednesday's practice with a concussion, returned on Thursday, leaving rookie wide receiver Josh Boyce (ankle) as the only player not spotted to begin the on-field workout.
Boyce suffered his injury late in the game on Sunday as well, leading to increased repetitions for veteran Austin Collie. Fellow rookie wideouts Kenbrell Thompkins (hip) and Aaron Dobson (foot) practiced again Thursday.
According to Yates, the Patriots are hopeful to get the duo back for this week's game in Baltimore after a combined five games missed.
