The New England Patriots head back on the practice field Thursday, after no public practice on Wednesday. Tuesday was their second day of padded practices at camp, with multiple starters missing on the field.
On the one hand, not having every player available is tough with the team preparing for the preseason. There’s also the other side with major player absences opening up opportunities for other players to get more quality reps.
The Patriots need all of the work they can get on the offensive side of the ball. It was another defense-dominated day for the team.
