FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Injured New England Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo threw one pass in practice about 25 yards down the field Wednesday, an indication that he is making progress from a sprained AC joint in his right throwing shoulder.Garoppolos long pass came during the media-access portion of practice, as he was warming up for an individual drill in which there was no pass rush.Before the practice, Garoppolo was unsure of his availability for Sundays home game against the Buffalo Bills.Well see. I dont know right now, he said. We have to get there and well assess it then, I guess. ... Its hard to predict what youll feel like in three, four days.Garoppolo said he had never previously sustained an AC sprain, which was the result of being driven to the turf by Miami Dolphins linebacker Kiko Alonso in the second quarter of a game Sept. 18. He missed the Patriots 27-0 win over the Houston Texans on Sept. 22.Rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who started in his place against Houston and injured his right thumb in the third quarter, said his grip on the football wasnt compromised and his thumb and wrist were taped at Wednesdays practice.I played with it, so it was fine. I didnt think about it, Brissett said before practice. Whatever it is you have, you just go out and deal with it.Both Garoppolo and Brissett were listed as limited participants during Wednesdays practice.The Patriots will specify the level of practice participation for Garoppolo and Brissett on their injury report later Wednesday. The club doesnt have another quarterback on the 53-man roster or practice squad, which is an indication that Garoppolo and/or Brissett will be available Sunday.Garoppolo, speaking publicly for the first time since the injury, said he initially felt as if the wind had been knocked out of him.You just have to be smart, I guess. Its kind of one of those plays, its football and stuff like that is going to happen, but you have to be smart in those situations, he said. After its all said and done, its easy to say [you should throw it away]. Its kind of one of those things, youre in the heat of the game. Just bottom line, I have to be smarter than that.Garoppolo said he never felt any pressure from the Patriots to play Thursday and that hes improving on a day-by-day basis.Yeah, no doubt, he said.
