There was some mild concern around New England when Brady missed Wednesday's practice session with an illness, but it looks like everything will return to normal on Thursday.

In Brady's absence, backup quarterback Ryan Mallett took all the snaps on Wednesday.

Patriots long-snapper Danny Aiken was also out on Wednesday with an illness, but he too is expected to return to practice on Thursday.

Brady is scheduled to address the media at 12:45 pm on Thursday. Stay tuned to CBSBostonsports.com for updates throughout Thursday's practice.
