FOXBOROUGH — The Patriots did receive some good news on the injury front Wednesday when defensive end Trey Flowers and safety Patrick Chung returned to practice in a limited capacity. Both missed Sunday’s loss after suffering concussions against the Jaguars in Week 2.
“It was good to get out there,’’ Flowers said. “It’s always tough as a football player when you’re unable to play.’’
