PATRIOTS TRAINING CAMP ****** Official 2021 Training Camp Thread ******

[Deus Irae]

I thought it was time to get one set up. Post away.

Cornerback Stephon Gilmore was not the only player the Patriots placed on the active/physically unable to perform list Thursday.


The NFL’s transactions wire also shows that defensive tackle Byron Cowart, linebacker Terez Hall, tight end Dalton Keene, special teamer Brandon King, receiver Devin Smith, quarterback Jarrett Stidham and outside linebacker Chase Winovich are on PUP...

Stidham, Gilmore Winovich on pup hmmm

 

[Hyped]

If Stiddy doesn't get off the PUP by pre-season week 1....he's toast, IMO.

Stidham, Gilmore Winovich on pup hmmm

Big trade coming. Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey, and Cooper Kupp.

Much like Marty Mcfly, Stidham's slowly starting to disappear from that photo.

I mean… he didn’t pounce on a chance to distinguish himself last season and now this ? His best bet - I thought - was for Mac to become the starter & NE decide that Cam needn’t be on the bench after so many years of starting. But this is not going to work in his favour…

Patriots place three rookies on NFI list

Three of the New England Patriots' eight draft picks may not be on the field to start the team's first training camp practice.

"Three of the Patriots’ eight draft picks may not be on the field to start training camp. On Wednesday, the team placed running back Rhamondre Stevenson, linebacker Cameron McGrone, and safety Joshuah Bledsoe on the NFL’s non-football injury (NFI) list."

Yep. I'd say he may be outright gone -- Jones, Cam, Hoyer. No need/room for him.

I never thought he’d be Steve Young. But I really thought he’d be “more than this”. Sure, he’s young, but that game Hoyer was chosen to start for Cam was telling imo…. And in what could (should ?) be his last shot, he’s starting on the PUP ? Oof.

Gilmore “Stiddy. How can I make money AND hold out ?”

Stidham “have a seat, chum. I’ve got the solution…”

The Gilly/PUP designation is fascinating

There have been reports he isnt recovered yet, so I expected this.

Pup could be a day or a season. Need more info to know if it even matters.

But you can agree that this is absolutely NOT what a player like Stidham needs at this critical junction of his Patriots career, yes ?

Sure, he might be active a week from now, but while there is little actual football to discuss, it stands out iMO.

He was active in the off-season West Coast workouts, right? So what’s it about? Could it be he tested positive for Covid? Or maybe is being redshirted?

Which means he didn't pass or has not taken the physical.

Probably but players with minor injuries go on pup also until they can take the field.
In his case they won’t push him into practice and off pup until he is 100%. I would have been shocked if he was 100% in July.
