Shortly before the start of Monday’s mandatory minicamp practice in the fields behind Gillette Stadium, Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo pledged that the team had “something special” planned for Tuesday in place of a scheduled practice.
While it’s a regular occurrence for teams to scrap at least one of their scheduled minicamp practices, the Patriots did not receive a day off on Tuesday — with the entire 2024 roster and many coaches taking part in a “Community Day” in four spots across Massachusetts.
The team divided into four groups and headed to four different locations on Tuesday afternoon, including a pair of schools.
