Overview

  • The team held its 10th training camp practice behind Gillette Stadium with gates opening at 9:15 a.m., a 10 a.m. Mike Vrabel press conference, 10:15 a.m. drills and player availability around 12:30 p.m.
  • Quarterback Drake Maye threw two interceptions and Rhamondre Stevenson lost a fumble during Friday’s in-stadium scrimmage, prompting renewed emphasis on ball security in full-pad work.
  • A lengthy absence list—including Carlton Davis, Antonio Gibson and Mack Hollins—left coaches monitoring injury recoveries and potential returns after the weekend break.
  • Veteran cornerback Carlton Davis has yet to record any physical reps in New England’s new defense, raising questions about his integration following a $54 million contract.
  • Defensive linemen Christian Barmore and Milton Williams have developed promising on-field chemistry that could bolster the Patriots’ pass rush next season.
