FOXBORO, Mass. — Patriots running back Danny Woodhead has been cleared for contact and shed his red jersey during Tuesday's practice, which was held in full pads.
Woodhead suffered a concussion during the regular-season finale against the Dolphins, and he participated in both of New England's practices last week. However, he was not cleared for contact.
Center Dan Koppen, who wore a non-contact jersey last week for unspecified reasons, also shed the red jersey Tuesday.
Tight end Aaron Hernandez, right tackle Sebastian Vollmer and defensive lineman Eric Moore practiced Tuesday after missing last Thursday's session.
Linebacker Jermaine Cunningham (calf) and defensive lineman Myron Pryor were the only two players missing Tuesday. Cunningham missed both practices last week, but Pryor, who has been dealing with a back injury for much of the season, was present for each session.
