Overview

  • Monday’s 10th training camp session ran over two hours in full pads behind Gillette Stadium with red-zone and end-of-game scenarios top of the agenda.
  • Turnover issues from Friday’s in-stadium scrimmage – including two interceptions by Drake Maye and a fumble by Rhamondre Stevenson – prompted targeted ball-security drills.
  • Second-round rookie TreVeyon Henderson made a strong impression with two long touchdown catches from Maye early in situational periods.
  • Several key players were absent or limited due to injuries, including Kendrick Bourne, Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis III, while Marcellas Dial Jr. was carted off and defensive coordinator Terrell Williams left briefly with dehydration.
  • Kickers Andy Borregales and Parker Romo extended their perfect streaks by converting all four field-goal attempts from up to 54 yards.
