The New England Patriots kicked off the second week of full-speed training camp by returning to their full-pads outfit last worn on Thursday. The intensity and physicality was naturally much improved again, with the session itself being one of the most spirited to date: the offense and defense were verbally engaged on numerous occasions, letting hear the other side about big plays on a regular basis.
Before getting ahead of ourselves, however, let’s recap what happened at today’s practice.
Attendance
Absent: DT Beau Allen, TE Jake Burt, OT Yodny Cajuste, CB Stephon Gilmore, LB Brandon King (Reserve/PUP), RB Sony Michel (Active/PUP), RB Lamar Miller (Active/PUP), WR Jeff Thomas
Present but limited: S Kyle Dugger, WR Jakobi Meyers, S Adrian Phillips, QB Jarrett Stidham
- One new player was added to the list of absentees: offensive tackle Yodny Cajuste, who spent all of last year on the sidelines following offseason quad surgery, was not present for today’s session, joining seven others to sit out practice as well.
