New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez will play Thursday against the New York Jets, reports NFL.com.

Hernandez has been limited in practice this week because of an ankle injury and NFL.com reports that "barring any setbacks" Hernandez will suit up for the Thanksgiving matchup. Hernandez has not played since Week 7, a Patriots' 29-26 victory over the Jets.
