Hernandez will dress for today's game.
Aaron Hernandez will return to the field for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks.
The tight end, who suffered a sprained ankle Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals, was deemed a game-time decision Friday by head coach Bill Belichick. His status was in doubt, though, after missing the final practice of the week.
DE Jake Bequette, S Steve Gregory (hip), OL Matt Tennant, WR Julian Edelman (hand), LB Dont'a Hightower (hamstring), LB Tracy White (foot) and TE Michael Hoomanawanui (concussion) are inactive for the Patriots.
Seahawks inactives: WR Charly Martin, SS Winston Guy, CB Danny Gorrer, CB Jeremy Lane, G John Moffitt, DT Clinton McDonald, DT Jaye Howard.
