On Monday, the New England Patriots kicked off their 2019 organized team activities: over the next four weeks, all of the club’s players — veterans and rookies — will have the voluntary opportunity to work alongside each other and the coaching staff. The media will only have limited access to the practice sessions, with the first open one taking place on Thursday. However, that does not mean that there is nothing to report about already.
