When the New England Patriots returned to the practice fields for their seventh session of training camp, all eyes were on Matthew Judon. The veteran linebacker, who had sat out the previous two sessions in an apparent contract dispute, made his return to the field.
What that means in the grand scheme of things remains to be seen. According to head coach Jerod Mayo, however, the two sides would be intent on looking toward the future.
“Our philosophy is to keep as much internal as possible. Had a great meeting with Judon, and we’re all moving forward,” Mayo told reporters ahead of Thursday’s session.
