The Patriots received a boost on the injury front with tight end Aaron Hernandez and defensive linemen Albert Haynesworth and Mike Wright returning to practice for Thursday's full-pads session. The return of Hernandez for Sunday's game against the Jets would be a big boost to the Patriots. He got off to a strong start in the team's first two games (14 catches, 165 yards, 2 touchdowns). Haynesworth and Wright also would help a defensive line that has been depleted by early season injuries.
