Pats safety Patrick Chung returns to Wednesday practice on a Tuesday

Found December 20, 2011 on The Rap Sheet:
PLAYERS: Eric Moore,  Sebastian Vollmer,  Aaron Hernandez
TEAMS: New England Patriots
Even though it’s Tuesday, the Patriots were operating on a Wednesday schedule, given the short week, with Saturday’s game against the Dolphins. The team held a walkthrough inside the Dana Farber Fieldhouse. Colleague Ian Rapoport was on hand for the proceedings. While it was only a walkthrough, it was still a positive sign seeing safety Patrick Chung out there with the regulars. He’s been battling a foot problem for more than a month. Last week, rest was prescribed because of persistant pain. Perhaps there’s been some improvement. Defensive end Eric Moore and offensive lineman Sebastian Vollmer (foot, ankle), meanwhile, were missing. Moore played against Denver in Sunday’s 41-23 win over the Broncos. He was in on that long 28-yard sack of Tim Tebow. Rapoport also says tight end Aaron Hernandez took part wearing his AFC champions T-shirt.
