Amendola, Talib return to practice

Danny Amendola has been cleared to practice only and will likely be out another two-four weeks. Don't expect to see him back in action this month and most likely not til mid November. The Patriots have to take their time with Amendola due to his concussion history. 

Aqib Talib who left the game vs. the New Orleans Saints missed last weeks game vs. The Jets and hasn't been practicing until today. Look for Talib to be a game time decision this week vs. Miami.

With these key injuries look for a rise of snaps with Austin Collie. Also look for a practice squad promotion for cornerback Justin Green either by Saturday or in the coming weeks. This rookie out of Illinois showed promise in the preseason and could give great depth in the future.
