Later today, the New England Patriots will open their 2019 organized team activities. Over the next four weeks, the team will work on teaching and implementing early schematic concepts and taking the next step with the initial two phases of workouts in the books. While not all players will be present at least early on, there will still be plenty of intriguing storylines to follow during the voluntary sessions.
Let’s take a look at some of them, especially considering that reporters will be able to watch Thursday’s session.
While the Patriots’ biggest star is not expected to attend the early portions of OTAs, the 41-year-old will likely return to join its teammates no later than June 4: New England opens its mandatory minicamp that day and Brady is expected to be on the practice fields when that happens.
