Things are looking up for the New England Patriots ahead of Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins.
A day after getting Josh Uche back on the practice field, the Patriots welcomed back rookie defensive end Keion White on Thursday. White had been dealing with a concussion stemming from the Week 6 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Patriots will need all of the pass-rushing help they can muster to shut down quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and a Dolphins offense that leads the league with an average of 34.3 points per game.
But it wasn’t just good news for the Patriots. Miami got some good news as well with All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill returning to the practice field. Safety Javon Holland and running back Raheem Mostert were also back at practice for the Dolphins.
