Minicamp Team News thread

[long distance]

Since the first OTA thread was sort of hijacked after TB news (and the OP takes full responsibility for leading on) . following @reamer suggestion let's try with a new thread concentrating on the team and the players that are actually participating (or are absent with injuries etc.). Hopefully it works out better..

Here a nice (post TB, Gronk) preview article from Karen Guregian:
No Brady or Gronk, but plenty of storylines at Patriots OTAs


While we now know that Jules, Mitchell and Rivers are participating - as first posted by @scott99 in original OTA thread (see below) - here a quote on OL situation:

Offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia, meanwhile, said last week tackle Marcus Cannon, who had ankle surgery, wouldn’t be available. He also ruled out tackles Trent Brown (shoulder), rookie Isaiah Wynn (shoulder) along with guard Joe Thuney (foot surgery). So we won’t get to see who is at the front of the left tackle competition just yet.

Austin will be working with the running backs, probably with the goal of him taking over for Fears in the near future. He was only offered the job on Friday.

Pretty sure he already got signed to an UDFA deal, but I'll be keeping an eye on him.

Sounds like jersey numbers for rookies are officially not assigned. Also sounds like BB is doing it on purpose because not wearing numbers was outlawed and he liked doing that for team building purposes.

I think it's kind of cool. Based on some of the rookie comments, they've picked up on the message and they appreciate the work that's required of them. Requiring numbers is unnecessary. The league just likes to regulate more than their fair share.
