Patriots Kick Off Fifth Straight Day of Camp Practice Indoors

The New England Patriots will hold their eighth training-camp session on Monday inside due to bad weather, marking the start of five consecutive practice days.

Following two off-days, the New England Patriots resume a five-day run of practices starting Monday, with the eighth session shifted indoors because of weather, eliminating public access. Coach Mike Vrabel’s staff will run the usual 10:15 a.m. ET practice, though the exact agenda may still shift. The team hopes to address roster gaps via the non-football injury list, the physically unable to perform list, or returning players.

Notable absences include fullback Reggie Gilliam and linemen James Hudson III and Caedan Wallace, while rookie Gabe Jacas made his first practice appearance. Position battles are intensifying for players such as running back Lan Larison, edge rusher Elijah Ponder, rookie cornerback Karon Prunty, and safeties Dell Pettus and Mike Brown. Fans can follow live updates on the Patriots’ official channels and the Pats Pulpit site.
