Practice notes

A few notes from today's practice, which was held outside on one of the practice fields behind Gillette Stadium:

* For the second day in a row, the Patriots were in full pads. The team was also in full pads on Wednesday, so this has been a break from the norm. One thought is that the team is going back to fundamental football, with more contact in workouts.

* S Rodney Harrison, who is out for Sunday's game, was the lone player not present at the media-access portion of the workout.

* DE Ty Warren, CB Asante Samuel and S Eugene Wilson weren't dressed in their full practice gear, wearing sweatpants instead of their game pants. That could be a sign that they are limited for practice.

* The print media was present for stretching.
