Moderna is headquartered at 325 Binney St. in Cambridge. The vaccine maker’s cost-cutting continues with new layoffs that will reduce the company’s workforce by at least 10%.

Overview

  • Offensive line depth remains unsettled after Morgan Moses and Garrett Bradbury left practice early and Bradbury sat out team work on Day 7.
  • Rookie Jared Wilson and veteran Ben Brown split snaps at center and guard as Cole Strange and Caedan Wallace continue to compete for backup roles.
  • The Patriots again practiced without Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis, elevating reps for D.J. James and Marcellas Dial in the secondary.
  • Ball-exchange errors persisted with at least one fumbled snap during 11-on-11 drills, prompting coach Mike Vrabel to halt the first-team offense.
  • Tight end Austin Hooper returned from the PUP list while sweltering temperatures continued to test player stamina and practice intensity.
