After spending the first three weeks of training camp at home, the New England Patriots have reached the traveling portion of their summer. They will hold road joint practices in back-to-back weeks, starting in Green Bay on Wednesday.
The Patriots will twice share the practice fields with the Packers leading up to a preseason meeting at Lambeau Field on Saturday night. Those joint sessions present another growth opportunity for the team, and a chance to get the competitive spirts flowing.
“It will be nice to compete against other guys who aren’t your teammates, just to see what competitiveness it brings out of us,” said safety Jabrill Peppers earlier this week.
