Wide receivers Tee Higgins (hamstring) and Jermaine Burton (toe) are new additions to the injury report this week. Burton was able to practice fully, but Higgins was listed as limited. He's notably dealt with hamstring injuries in the past.

When asked about it after practice, Higgins ensured it was nothing to fret over.

"I feel amazing," Higgins said. "Definitely the best I've felt going into Week 1. I'm physically fine and mentally ready."

Higgins was joined by WR Ja'Marr Chase (rest), linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither (rest), offensive tackle Amarius Mims (pectoral) and defensive tackle Kris Jenkins (thumb). Chase practiced for a second consecutive day with the pre-regular season deadline for a contract extension inching closer and closer. 

Jenkins was seen practicing with wrapping covering his hand, which could be the case if he plays Sunday.

Patriots cornerback Jonathan Jones (hamstring) and linebacker Oshane Ximines (ankle) both went full after being limited Wednesday. Starting left guard Sidy Sow (ankle) didn't practice for a second consecutive day, and running back Antonio Gibson (hip) was limited.
