The New England Patriots are heading into their second week of full-speed training camp, but before we turn our attention to what lies ahead, let’s take another look back at Sunday’s two-hour session: the Patriots returned to the practice fields following a day off, to hold a comparatively light 10th overall practice. Let’s clean out the notebook.
Jarrett Stidham’s injury creates an interesting dynamic
For the second practice in a row, Jarrett Stidham was held out of competitive team drills due to what has been reported as a hip injury. While Stidham was present throughout the session, his injury does create an interesting dynamic at the quarterback position: with Cam Newton the presumptive starter and Stidham dealing with an injury that might take “several weeks” until fully healed again, New England might elect to carry three quarterbacks heading into the regular season.
