COMMENTARY
The Patriots opened training camp Thursday with several new and familiar faces.
A look at some to watch . . .
Julian Edelman, wide receiver
Julian Edelman’s training camp will be a little different compared to years past.
Though he is permitted to participate in camp, Edelman will be suspended four regular-season games for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substances policy. His appeal of the punishment was denied by the league.
Edelman missed the entirety of last season due to a torn ACL he suffered during a preseason game against the Detroit Lions.
