FOXBORO, Mass. — For the second consecutive summer, an injury has sidelined Jarrett Stidham early in training camp.
Stidham was not present at either of the Patriots’ first two camp practices and currently is on the active/physically unable to perform list. Head coach Bill Belichick confirmed Thursday morning that Stidham “will miss a little time,” explaining the team’s decision to claim quarterback Jake Dolegala off waivers from the Green Bay Packers.
