Patriots’ Trent Brown explains his limited participation so far during training camp

FOXBOROUGH — It’s tough to miss 6-foot-8 Trent Brown out on the practice fields behind Gillette Stadium.

The 30-year-old left tackle already casts quite a shadow on the gridiron due to his imposing frame. But Brown’s presence is felt even more when he’s not out protecting Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe’s blind sides during both practices and games.

For most of training camp, Brown has been limited when it comes to team reps, with the veteran spending most of his time down on the lower conditioning fields while the rest of the team holds competitive 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills.
