Football in full pads has finally returned to Foxborough.
On day five of training camp, the Patriots arrived with helmets, shoulder pads, pants, and all the gear needed to show that it was time to start hitting once again.
Cole Strange got a scare on his 25th birthday, leaving practice with a leg injury before eventually returning. Rhamondre Stevenson and Matthew Judon were limited again.
But, the Patriots were largely healthy and ready to mix in more running plays than the past few days.
