Some days off: Patriots cancel final two OTA practices, start summer vacation early

Almost two months ago, on April 16, the New England Patriots officially kicked off their offseason workout program. Since then, the team went through various phases of voluntary and mandatory work – from the strength and conditioning program to organized team activities to minicamp. This week, the team was scheduled to hold its final four OTA practices before the start of summer vacation on Friday.

According to Patriots owner Robert Kraft, however, the team canceled the final two sessions. “Our players will be let off today at 2:00,” Kraft told reporters earlier today at the 2018 Myra Kraft Community MVP Awards.
