FOXBORO — Patriots outside linebacker Harold Landry, inside linebacker Robert Spillane and left guard Jared Wilson all returned to practice Wednesday after missing the team’s final two regular-season games.
Spillane declared himself ready to play in Sunday’s Wild Card playoff game versus the Chargers. He’s been dealing with an ankle injury.
Landry has been hampered by a hurt knee since mid-October. Wilson remains in concussion protocol, as evidenced by the red, non-contact jersey he wore at practice. It’s unclear whether either player will be able to play Sunday.
Tight end Hunter Henry and defensive lineman Khyiris Tonga were missing at Wednesday’s practice. Tonga has not played since hurting his foot against Buffalo on Dec. 14.
According to coach Mike Vrabel, four other players are dealing with illness: right tackle Morgan Moses, center Garrett Bradbury, offensive tackle Vederian Lowe and outside linebacker Anfernee Jennings. None of them were present for the start of practice.
The Patriots will release their first injury report of the week Wednesday evening.
