The New England Patriots’ summer break is over. The team of first-year head coach Mike Vrabel returned to work on Wednesday morning for its first practice of this year’s training camp.
The session itself was a rather slow start as part of the league-mandated ramp-up period, but there is still plenty to discuss. Here is what went down.
Setting
Attire: Shorts and shells
Duration: ca. 90 minutes (10:15-11:45 a.m. ET)
Conditions: Mostly sunny, temperatures in the high 70s
The Patriots’ first practice of the summer took place in picture-perfect conditions on the fields behind Gillette Stadium.
