BOSTON -- We've all heard a lot about the Patriots' offense this summer at training camp. Many fans have been eager to see it for themselves in the team's preseason opener on Thursday night.
But they may have to wait a bit longer.
While the Patriots and Bill Belichick would never volunteer game-relevant information (even for a preseason game), ESPN's Mike Reiss noticed something at practice on Tuesday that might indicate that fans hoping to see Mac Jones sling some passes under the lights at Gillette Stadium on Thursday will be sorely disappointed.
"The Patriots worked off 'cards' for the first time, which is when they show one side of the ball something specific to do in preparation for an upcoming game," Reiss wrote in his practice observations from Tuesday.
