The Patriots are back. The 2018 season began with the first total team practice session of training camp under mostly overcast, steamy conditions. Just after practice began, a steady, drenching rain fell which soaked everything for just a few minutes and then the rest of practice was conducted in a mix of sun and clouds which made it even more humid.
Everyone was in attendance with the exception of players on PUP. Of those, only Malcolm Mitchell was missing, the rest were working out the lower practice fields with the Patriots training staff. Those players include WR Matthew Slater, WR Kenny Britt, CB Jonathan Jones, CB Cyrus Jones, S Nate Ebner, and RB Brandon Bolden.
