The Patriots returned tight end Hunter Henry, left tackle Trent Brown and cornerback Jonathan Jones to the field Thursday after all three sat out Wednesday’s padded practice.

Henry and Jones are dealing with ankle injuries, while Brown has battled a lingering chest issue. Outside linebacker Josh Uche (knee), defensive lineman Keion White (concussion) and offensive lineman Riley Reiff (knee) were all absent for a second straight day, putting their availability for Sunday’s game against Buffalo in serious doubt.

The Pats listed 20 players on their injury report Wednesday, including cornerback Jack Jones and defensive lineman Trey Flowers and safety Cody Davis, who are on injured reserve and Physically Unable to Perform list, respectively.

The Patriots will release their next injury report Thursday evening.
