The New England Patriots put a cherry on top of their Week 1 prep work for their upcoming preseason opener at Tuesday’s training camp practice.
It was a padded practice that shifted focus to those expected to suit up for Thursday night’s game. Those hoping to see defensive end Trey Flowers back in a Patriots uniform will have to wait a little while longer. After signing with the Patriots, the former defensive star was placed on the active/PUP list by the team.
There were several absences and a big return for the Patriots at practice. The full list of absences is as follows:
DE Trey Flowers
G Michael Onwenu
G Cole Strange
G Bill Murray
OT Calvin Anderson
ST Cody Davis
RB/WR Ty Montgomery
OT Calvin Anderson
This was likely the final day fans will be allowed to attend a Patriots training camp practice this year. Let’s jump into some takeaways from the latest practice before the preseason opener.
