The New England Patriots are set for their 2024 season opener on Sunday afternoon against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium.

On Thursday, the Patriots held another practice on the fields outside of Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts.

For the practice, guard Sidy Sow (ankle) remained the lone non-participant. 

However, New England did add one player to their injury report who wasn't there the day prior - running back Antonio Gibson (hip), who was limited.

Gibson joined offensive tackle Vederian Lowe (abdomen) and linebacker Joshua Uche (foot) as the limited participants.

Full participants included cornerback Jonathan Jones (hamstring), linebacker Oshane Ximines (ankle), tight end Hunter Henry (foot), linebacker Anfernee Jennings (wrist) and defensive end Deatrich Wise (hamstring). Both Jones and Ximines were upgraded from Wednesday.

Linebacker Christian Elliss (concussion) was removed completely.

The Bengals listed wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase (rest) and Tee Higgins (hamstring), defensive tackle Kris Jenkins (thumb) and offensive tackle Amarius Mims (pectoral) as limited participants while quarterback Joe Burrow (right wrist) and wide receiver Joe Burton (toe) practiced fully.
