FOXBORO -- The Patriots practiced inside the bubble on Thursday, in preparation for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns, and two usual suspects were missing.

Veteran running back Fred Taylor (toe) and safety Jarrad Page (left calf) were the only Patriots players absent from the start of Thursday's practice session. Meanwhile, tight end Aaron Hernandez returned after missing practice on Wednesday. His absence was not injury related.
