Deatrich Wise Jr. celebrated his 25th birthday on Friday, and the Patriots gave their defensive end a perfect gift.
Wise officially was activated from the PUP list and able to join his teammates for Day 2 of training camp. He shared his excitement with a video posted on the Pats' Twitter account:
Wise was placed on the PUP list on Sunday after missing mandatory minicamp due to an ankle injury. All signs point toward the 2017 fourth-round pick's rehab going as well as the Patriots could have hoped for.
As Wise returns, New England still has seven players on the practice reserve list: running back Sony Michel, wide receivers Julian Edelman and Demaryius Thomas, offensive tackles Yodny Cajuste and Cole Croston, cornerback Ken Webster, and safety Nate Ebner.
