FOXBORO, Mass. — A violation of the NFL’s offseason training regulations resulted in two lost spring practices for the New England Patriots and a five-figure fine for Bill Belichick.
On Wednesday, Belichick addressed the Patriots’ punishment for the first time.
“Good to get back on the field here today,” the head coach said before New England’s third organized team activities practice. “We had a situation with some scheduling in Phase 2. Got that all worked out, so it’s good to be back out there.”
Belichick wouldn’t divulge much more on the topic, offering the same response to multiple follow-up questions.
