The New England Patriots were back in pads for Day 11 of training camp practice on Monday. There was a different feeling in the air for this practice with it being the first preseason game week.
The Patriots are slated to face the Houston Texans, who will reportedly start rookie No. 2 overall draft pick C.J. Stroud at quarterback. So there’s a little hype behind Thursday night’s game, even though it’s just a preseason match-up.
When it comes to attendance at practice, things looked similar for the Patriots with the offensive line still missing multiple starters.
