Rob Gronkowski, Chandler Jones Limited At Patriots Practice

BOSTON (CBS) -- Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was back at practice on Wednesday after missing Tuesday's full pad session.

Gronk didn't speak with reporters, but told WBZ-TV's Steve Burton he was OK as he made his way through the New England locker room.

The team released its injury report later in the day and Gronkowski was officially listed as a limited participant in practice.

Gronkowski is scheduled to talk to the media on Thursday.

Also on the field Wednesday was defensive end Chandler Jones, who has practiced every day this week after being rushed to the hospital with an undisclosed "medical emergency" early Sunday morning. Details remain scarce on the matter, but according to police logs Jones walked to the Foxboro police department on Sunday to request medical assistance and was rushed to Norwood hospital shortly after. Officers said they found drugs inside Jones' home, just a few blocks from the station, but what that Class D substance was remains unknown.

Jones was also listed as limited in practice with abdomen and toe injuries.

Quarterback Tom Brady, who injured his ankle in the season finale versus Miami, was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.

The Patriots host the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round of the playoffs Saturday afternoon at Gillette Stadium. The team will release their first practice/injury report of the week later on Wednesday.
