Abbrederis (concussion) returned to practice Tuesday and has been cleared to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Saints, ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky reports.

EDGE Analysis

An ACL tear in his inaugural training camp and a concussion suffered on the first day of practice this summer has prevented Abbrederis from logging a single appearance in the preseason during his career, but the fifth-round pick finally looks like he's ready to go. Abbrederis' lack of field time might make it difficult for him to crack the 53-man roster, though a strong performance Thursday could be enough for him to edge out Myles White for the fifth receiver job.
