FOXBOROUGH -- This is something we've hit on many times over the last week-plus, but given the fact the Patriots had perfect attendance at practice on Thursday, it certainly bears repeating: New England is astoundingly healthy at this time of year.
Of course, everyone is working their way through various bumps and bruises so "healthy" is a relative term. And we're not altogether sure just how serious Tom Brady's knee issue is. But the fact that New England had a very short injury report on Wednesday, and everyone was there on Thursday (Dwayne Allen appears to have bounced back from his knee injury) is a good sign. It was the first time since Oct. 10 the Patriots had everyone in attendance.
We'll get the injury report at 4 or so, but for now, this is a good sign for New England, at least as it relates to Sunday's game against the Vikings.
