It was downright shocking – and exciting – to see Demaryius Thomas take the field Tuesday in full pads and shells.
Sure, he’d previously been spotted at practice just the day before. But on Monday, the major story was that Julian Edelman was off the NFI list and back in action. Thomas, along with Cameron Meredith, was physically present during warmups, but wasn’t necessarily seen participating in any opening drills with the rest of the Patriots‘ receivers.
That changed on Tuesday though, with the 31-year-old veteran coming out fully-dressed and ready to roll, per Bleacher Report’s Timothy Rapp.
