The New England Patriots were back for their first practice of training camp on Wednesday. In a change from year’s pasts, New England began by focusing on early down work in team periods instead of staying in the red area.
The 90-minute long session featured plenty of drill work to start as the team begins their acclimation period — which will feature no pads for the first seven days. Here are the top observations from the session.
