The Patriots are in full pads for today's practice session on the lower practice field behind Gillette Stadium.

Once again, Vince Wilfork (left ankle) and Jerod Mayo (right knee) were absent from the session, though Nick Kaczur (ankle), who missed practice on Wednesday, was on the field, as were Randy Moss and Wes Welker.

Tom Brady was wearing pink cleats and Moss pink gloves as part of the NFL's breast cancer awareness week.
