Patriots Training Camp Notes: New Safety Debuts At In-Stadium Practice

FOXBORO, Mass. — Some assorted notes, observations and takeaways from a lighter Tuesday evening at New England Patriots training camp:

— The Patriots practiced inside Gillette Stadium for the second time this summer. Like last Friday’s simulated game, this session was non-competitive, with players wearing helmets and shells and moving through most drills at half-speed.

— New England made a roster move before practice, releasing running back Tyler Gaffney and signing safety Malik Gant.

Gant, a hard-hitting safety out of Marshall, initially joined the Patriots as an undrafted free agent in 2019 and spent his entire rookie season on New England’s injured reserve.
