LaFell (shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday, NESN.com reports.

Analysis:

LaFell has downplayed the shoulder issue he sustained this past Sunday, but his presence on the Patriots' injury report makes his status worth tracking in advance of Sunday's game against the Packers. At this stage though, we'd be surprised if the wideout -- who caught nine passes for 98 yards in Week 12 -- wasn't available this weekend.
