New England Patriots rookies didn’t report on Tuesday, first possible day to arrive (report)

With the NFL is still hammering training camp details out with the union, the Patriots are taking their time with the rookies.

Tuesday was the first day New England’s first-year players could report to the facility for training camp, but NFL Network’s Mike Giardi reports Bill Belichick held off on bringing his rookies in.

Told the team is in no rush. The time table has obviously been altered from a league standpoint and there are still points being negotiated between the league and it's players. https://t.co/7xxE7DeSzp
