FOXBOROUGH — There was a healthy outlook at Patriots practice Wednesday.
Every player on the active roster was present and accounted for at the team’s first workout of the week as it prepares for Sunday evening’s AFC Championship game against the Steelers.
The only bodies missing from the full-pads session were practice squad players Woodrow Hamilton and Glenn Gronkowski.
Rookie receiver Malcolm Mitchell, who hasn’t played since Week 16 when he suffered a knee injury, was moving fine through the raw drizzle and could be on course to make his playoff debut this week.
“I’m feeling good, how are you?’’ said the always cordial Mitchell, who finished the season with 32 catches for 401 tards and 4 touchdowns.
