The Patriots offseason is moving along as phase three of the NFL's offseason program with organized team activities at Gillette Stadium begins this week.
With the first two phases focusing mainly on strength and conditioning, teams can now begin playing non-padded football with 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and full team 11-on-11s permitted over the next four weeks, culminating in a three-day mandatory minicamp next month (June 13-14).
Although this week's workouts aren't mandatory, the Patriots have good attendance this spring, and Thursday's practice will be open to the media for our first glimpse at the Patriots in 2023.
