Mayo provides a 'good lift' at Pats practice
By: Mike Petraglia

 
FOXBORO — Jerod Mayo was back at practice on Friday for the first time after suffering a right knee injury in the season-opener on Sept. 14. "It was great," Belichick said. "That gives a good lift for everybody to see him back out there. It was good to have him in uniform. Jerod always works hard. He doesn’t spend half the day playing dominoes and that stuff. He works hard. He does. He’s here with a purpose. He gets a lot done. He comes in early [and] he stays late." Mayo is officially listed as doubtful for this Sunday with a knee injury.

Belichick: A 'few' players are game-time decisions on Sunday
By: Mike Petraglia

FOXBORO — Patriots coach Bill Belichick said on Friday that a few players nursing injuries might return to action on Sunday against Baltimore. "I think we have a few guys that will be closer to game-time decisions," Belichick said. "Guys that maybe didn't practice one of the days earlier in the week, or maybe both of them, then they go out there today and that's good and see where they're at tomorrow and then make a call on that on Sunday." Jerod Mayo (right knee) and Vince Wilfork (left ankle) returned to practice on Friday while Wes Welker (knee), Randy Moss (back) and Laurence Maroney (thigh) were on the field as well.

Pregame notes: Drew likely to return this weekend
By: Rob Bradford

Red Sox manager Terry Francona said that outfielder J.D. Drew's sore shoulder had improved, and that he is likely to play at some point this weekend. Francona suggested that Drew is a player who can keep his timing at the plate even after a couple of days off. Other notes:
 

  • Francona talked to players on the bubble of a playoff roster spot about where they will most likely be heading after Sunday's season finale.
  • One of those players, Chris Woodward, went home to be with his wife for the birth of the couple's third child.
  • Jed Lowrie most likely will start for the Red Sox on Saturday against Indians left-hander Aaron Laffey.
