New England Patriots safety Nate Ebner returned to the rugby field Wednesday at the Hong Kong 10s tournament, and appears to be in good form.

The Patriots granted him a leave of absence in March to allow him to start his training for the U.S. Olympic rugby team.

Ebner played rugby as a youth and is attempting to make the squad in honor of his late father, who loved the sport.
