BOSTON (CBS) -- There was only a light serving of Patriots on the field Wednesday morning. Several players were missing from the team's first practice of Week 13.

Injured wide receivers Mohamed Sanu (ankle) and Phillip Dorsett (concussion) were both on the field though, so there's a chance they'll return to action Sunday night against the Texans. Both missed last Sunday's win over the Cowboys.
The Patriots will practice again Thursday and Friday before heading to Houston for a Sunday Night Football tilt with the 7-4 Texans.
