Linebacker Dominic Douglas (hamstring) probably will miss Thursday's game at New England after being injured Saturday. Defensive end Victor Adeyanju (ankle) and tight end Daniel Fells (knee) are day-to-day.

Four players out previously with injuries are expected to return to practice this week: cornerback Kevin Dockery (hip), wide receiver Brandon Gibson (hamstring), cornerback Justin King (calf) and defensive end Eugene Sims (hamstring).

Cornerback Jerome Murphy (ankle) and safety Kevin Payne (knee) should get limited work.
