Patriots receiver Wes Welker, who missed Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Jets with a knee injury, was present for the start of practice Thursday. In the time that reporters were present at practice, players stretched and went through one set of drills. While members of the offense went through formations at half to three-quarters speed, Welker ran straight-line pass routes toward the outer edges of the field. Source: ESPNBoston.com
