The Patriots are on the upper practice fields behind Gillette Stadium on an unseasonably warm afternoon for their first session of the week as they prepare for Buffalo.

The players were once again in shells and sweatpants/shorts, as the team still can't take a chance on absorbing more injuries.

There were three players missing:

RB Sammy Morris
CB Lewis Sanders
CB Terrence Wheatley

Wheatley walked through the locker room briefly today, careful not to be slowed by reporters looking for the status of his left wrist, which was wrapped tightly.
