FOXBOROUGH -- Patriots cornerback Alfonzo Dennard was one of only two players missing from practice Wednesday in preparation for the AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Dennard's absence was not injury-related, according to the Patriots' practice report. Also missing was tight end Rob Gronkowski, who had surgery on his broken forearm on Monday.

The Patriots had five players who were limited in practice, including defensive end Chandler Jones (ankle), running back Danny Woodhead (thumb), defensive back Marquice Cole (finger), defensive end Trevor Scott (knee), and offensive lineman Nick McDonald (shoulder).
