FOXBORO -- Patriots running back Laurence Maroney (shoulder) returned to practice yesterday which is good news for the Patriots.
But he is listed as questionable for tomorrow's game against Miami, meaning that there is a 50 percent chance that he won't play. Couple that with the fact that Patriots' leading rusher LaMont Jordan (foot), who did not practice all week, is listed as doubtful, meaning there is a 75 percent chance or more that he won't play, and the Patriots rushing attack could be in trouble.
If they can't go, Morris, Kevin Faulk, and Heath Evans will get the bulk of the carries against a Miami team that ranks 26th in the NFL in yards allowed (369 yards per game), and 25th in points allowed per game (25.5).
Wide receiver Kelley Washington (ankle), who also has not practiced all week, is also listed as doubtful, linebacker Eric Alexander (calf) is listed as questionable, and nose tackle Vince Wilfork (back) is listed as probable.
