The New England Patriots took to the practice field for Day 8 of training camp on Thursday, and there wasn’t a drop-off in intensity from the previous day of work.
It was once again a padded practice that came with some mixing and matching of different personnel. You can’t call it a Patriots training camp without a few curveballs from coach Bill Belichick.
The team was missing six players on the field, including Michael Onwenu, Cole Strange, Cody Davis, Ty Montgomery, Calvin Anderson and Terez Hall, who was released by the team with an injury designation.
