The New England Patriots were back on the fields behind Gillette Stadium on Tuesday for their first of two practices this week. The session, which took place in shorts and shells, saw several players return after previously missing time due to injury.
Tight end Mike Gesicki was back on the field, as were running backs Ty Montgomery and Pierre Strong Jr., and outside linebacker Ronnie Perkins. Gesicki and Strong Jr. wore red non-contact jerseys.
Gesicki suffered a shoulder injury during practice on Aug. 14; he went down hard in a 1-on-1 tackling drill and was unable to finish that day’s session.
