For the Patriots, now is the time to get things accomplished, the season opener is Arizona is only 24 days from today.

The team wraps up the 3-day joint practices with the Bears today, But the injury bug, which so decimated the team a year ago, is raising its ugly head again

Here’s a look at this afternoon’s session at Gilllette Stadium, which included the return of Julian Edelman.

2nd-year player Geneo Grissom is looking to be as versatile as possible to not only stick on the 53-man roster but to find as many reps on the field.

The Patriots conducted their 13th practice of training camp and they were in shorts and shells under very hot, sunny conditions at Foxboro

Patriots running back Tyler Gaffney finally got to play in an NFL game on Thursday night after waiting 2 ½ years for the opportunity.

With the two team scrimmages last week, followed by some strong work against the Saints in joint practices, Flowers is kicking his game into high gear.

The Patriots opened the preseason with a 34-22 victory over the New Orleans Saints as the defense stepped up with three turnovers and played well overall.

Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman, and Martellus Bennett will likely not play. So what things will Bill Belichick and the coaching look to accomplish tonight?

The Patriots, however, weren’t at their best offensively and were rather sloppy with dropped passes across the board by multiple players.

This will mark the fourth time that the Patriots and Saints will conduct joint practices, the third time in Foxboro. 2010, 2012 were here and 2015 in WV.

The Patriots returned to practice on Sunday afternoon, in full pads and conducted another intra-squad scrimmage for the entire duration of the session

The Patriots got a great bit of news on Sunday afternoon when wide receiver Julian Edelman was removed from the PUP list and returned to practice

In the Patriots intra-squad scrimmage, Brady was surgical, carving up the opposing (White) defense while leading a blowout victory.

Bill Belichick ratcheted up the intensity level by running an old fashioned blue vs white scrimmage during the Patriots eighth practice.
