New England Patriots fans got a nice treat on Turkey Day.

Wide receiver Danny Amendola returned the practice field and was a limited participant. Amendola reportedly sprained his knee in the Patriots' Week 11 matchup with the Buffalo Bills, but things are looking up for the wide receiver before New England's game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

Matthew Slater and Sebastian Vollmer both were taken off the practice report.
