Saturday’s Patriots training camp report: Kyle Dugger’s pick-6 off Mac Jones caps a day for the defense

FOXBOROUGH — The Patriots wrapped up their first week of training camp Saturday with another day that featured a heavy dose of red-zone work and another standout day for the defense.

Safety Kyle Dugger snatched Mac Jones’s final pass of the day and returned it for what would have been a sure pick-6 in game conditions. It was a little sweet redemption for Dugger, who had his hands full covering tight ends Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry during the week.

Credit must also be given to 6-foot-5-inch, 305-pound offensive tackle Justin Herron, who chased Dugger all the way down the field (about 90 yards) and nearly caught him.
