For the second time in as many days, the New England Patriots hosted the New York Giants for the second of two joint practices on Thursday, August 26. The session, shorter than that of its Wednesday predecessor, was a bit lighter on intensity. Still, there was plenty of action, as the two teams prepared to face off in East Rutherford, New Jersey for their third and final preseason tilt of 2021. Once again, battling sweltering summer temperatures, the Pats and Giants took to the practice field adjacent to Gillette Stadium for another solid day of work for both clubs.
