Patriots defensive lineman Henry Anderson is making the most of his extra reps

FOXBOROUGH — Henry Anderson was raring to go when the Patriots opened training camp last week, the veteran defensive end eager to put 2021 in the rear-view mirror.

“Getting hurt always sucks,” said Anderson, who suffered a torn pectoral in Week 4 last season. “It makes you realize how much you love the game. So, being back out there, just being with all the guys again, it’s awesome.”

Anderson was a standout during Tuesday’s practice, the club’s second in full pads and with full contact. He was able to pressure the pocket consistently and would have been credited with at least one sack if the quarterbacks weren’t in red jerseys.
