It was another strong day for the New England Patriots in their second official outing at mandatory minicamp. The offense wasn’t a catastrophe, and the defense looked like a potential juggernaut in the making.
As far as attendance is concerned, it wasn’t much better on Tuesday, but most of the players were accounted for on the practice field.
Veteran defensive tackle Lawrence Guy, who is believed to be holding out for contract reasons wasn’t on the field, and the team was also still missing offensive guard Michael Onwenu, along with wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton.
The list of absences are as follows:
- WR JuJu Smith-Schuster
- WR Tyquan Thornton
- G Michael Onwenu
- WR Kayshon Boutte
- EDGE Keion White
- DT Justus Tavai
- CB Quandre Mosely
The Patriots have one more minicamp practice remaining on their schedule before the team breaks until training camp in late July. Here are five takeaways from Tuesday’s practice:
