Patriots call off Thursday’s practice

Summer vacation is starting a day early for the Patriots.

The team announced Wednesday that Thursday’s final practice of minicamp and the offseason program has been cancelled, which means that the team will be off until they start training camp on a date that’s yet to be announced.

The final practice of the offseason featured some extra running for the team’s offense as coach Bill Belichick sent the unit’s players and coaches to run a penalty lap when they failed to keep up the pace that Belichick wanted them playing at during the session.

“It was a miscommunication and you have to move fast because that’s our offense — fast-paced,” wide receiver Brian Tyms said, via ESPN.
