Gesicki (shoulder) returned to practice Tuesday in a non-contact jersey, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Gesicki continues to work his way back from a mild shoulder dislocation. The Patriots remain optimistic about his chances of suiting up for Week 1's matchup against the Eagles, and resuming non-contact reps is a step in the right direction. Still, Gesicki doesn't seem likely to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Titans.
