Summer break is officially over, at least for the New England Patriots’ first-year players. The rookies currently under contract with the team are set to report to training camp on Tuesday to go through physicals and the pre-camp acclimation period.
The Patriots are one of eight NFL teams that have their rookie class report on Tuesday. Two of their AFC East rivals — the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills — will welcome their youngsters that day as well, as will the Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens, Los Angeles Chargers, New Orleans Saints and New York Giants.
