FOXBORO, Mass. — The headliner of the Patriots’ free agent class has been a nonparticipant for much their spring practice schedule.
Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was absent from all three of New England’s organized team activities that were open to the media. He also was out Monday on Day 1 of the team’s three-day minicamp.
ESPN’s Mike Reiss on Sunday reported the Patriots are being “cautious” with the former Kansas City Chief, noting that Smith-Schuster suffered a knee injury in last season’s AFC Championship Game (though he returned to play in Super Bowl LVII).
