Romeo Doubs Dominates Red Zone as Patriots Accelerate Depth Moves

Overview

• The Patriots ran a full-pad practice focused on red-zone and end-of-game work that showcased receiver chemistry and high-contact evaluations.
• Romeo Doubs hauled in multiple high-point touchdown catches, including contested grabs over Charles Woods that capped a one-minute drive and two red-zone plays.
• Cornerback Christian Gonzalez was absent and head coach Mike Vrabel said he was receiving treatment for a practice injury rather than dealing with contract issues.
• Offensive lineman Ben Brown was ruled out for multiple weeks, prompting New England to sign Darrian Dalcourt and Joe Michalski to add short-term depth.
• Edge rusher Dre’Mont Jones left practice early and rookie Gabe Jacas stepped into top-unit reps with several physical plays while kicker Andy Borregales rebounded by making all six practice field-goal attempts.
