Overview

• Mike Vrabel said Stevenson is not under discipline and remains in the Week 4 game plan, though the opening package was left unspecified.
• The Patriots committed five turnovers in the Week 3 loss to the Steelers, including two Stevenson fumbles, an Antonio Gibson fumble, and two turnovers by Drake Maye.
• Practice featured expanded ball-security work reported across multiple outlets, including coaches punching at the ball with boxing gloves, a pole-mounted helmet tool, a new blaster, and ball-protection emphasis in every period.
• ESPN reporting indicated a short-term shift could give rookie TreVeyon Henderson more touches against the Panthers, and his snaps already climbed to a season high in Week 3.
• Stevenson said he feels supported by coaches, emphasized he must regain trust by securing the ball, and described this as one of his better practice weeks.
