After three days of rest, the New England Patriots returned to the practice fields today to kick off their last week of open practices at Gillette Stadium. The team wore full pads on this gorgeous day for football — presumably for the final time before departing for joint practices in Tennessee. All in all, the session saw plenty of defensive plays being made but also a certain Hall of Fame quarterback deliver a memorable stretch.
Let’s recap what happened:
Attendance
Present but did not participate: WR Julian Edelman (NFI), WR Demaryius Thomas (PUP), WR Cameron Meredith (PUP)
- Stephen Anderson played only six snaps against the Detroit Lions and it appears some minor injury might have been the reason for his comparatively little playing time.
