Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s absence from practice stretched to a second day on Thursday, but he’s not going to be on a Black Friday shopping spree to close out the week.

Brady is back on the practice field with the rest of the team on Friday with Mike Reiss of ESPN.com providing video evidence that he’s going through the early portion of the day’s work. Brady took a shot to the leg from Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor two weeks ago and is listed on the injury report with a knee issue, although he wasn’t on the injury report at all last week.

The team will release injury designations for their game against the Jets later on Friday and it’s probably a good bet that Brady will be listed as questionable to play. His presence on the field Friday likely bodes well for the chances that he’ll be in the starting lineup come Sunday.

Reports from New England indicate that tight end Martellus Bennett is also practicing after missing Thursday’s workout, which might not lead to as big an exhale as the news of Brady’s return but it does set the team up to have all hands on deck this weekend.
