The Patriots moved today's practice inside the Dana-Farber Fieldhouse, and it's a good thing they did: no sooner was it beginning that the skies around Gillette Stadium opened up, causing waterfalls to cascade down the sides of the practice facility. The players were in full pads.

CB Jonathan Wilhite returned to practice after missing Monday with an illness, and T Mark LeVoir also returned after an undisclosed injury.

Three players were missing:

LB Eric Alexander (calf)
CB Lewis Sanders
WR Kelley Washington (ankle)
