After working in shells on Wednesday, the New England Patriots put on their full pads again for Thursday’s training camp. The two-hour session took place in perfect conditions on the practice fields behind Gillette Stadium, and saw increased physicality again — as well as quarterback Cam Newton having arguably his best practice of the week.
