FOXBOROUGH – For the first time this season, there were shoulder pads under the Patriots’ practice jerseys.
The first padded practice of this training camp was an unexpectedly eventful one, as cornerback Christian Gonzalez left the field early after suffering an apparent lower body injury.
With Carlton Davis already out, the Patriots’ cornerback depth took an early hit.
The Patriots spent most of their scrimmage time working either in, or just outside the red zone.
Drake Maye had another efficient showing. Monday was the first chance to see rookie left-tackle Will Campbell blocking with pads on.
