Thomas time

TE David Thomas, who missed the season opener and all of training camp with a broken foot, is no longer on the team's injury report. That clears the way for Thomas to suit up Sunday night if the Patriots elect to dress three pure tight ends.

The Friday report:

Limited participation in practice
G Stephen Neal (shoulder)
DE Mike Wright (knee)

Full participation in practice
QB Tom Brady (right shoulder)

Neal and Wright are both questionable (50-50 chance to play), while Brady is probable.

DE Jarvis Green, who had limited participation in practice Wednesday and Thusday due to his shoulder, is no longer on the report.

Chargers report:

Out
WR Eric Parker (toe)

Did not participate in practice
DL Luis Castillo (foot)
LB Stephen Cooper (groin)

Full participation in practice
TE Antonio Gates (back)
LB Shawne Merriman (Achilles)
FB Andrew Pinnock (hamstring)

Castillo, Cooper, Gates, Merriman and Pinnock are all probable.
