The Patriots concluded their sixth training camp practice in full pads. The hitting was heavier with the focus of the day being situational football.

Did you miss the Patriots training camp session on Wednesday morning ? No worries, we captured some of the best moments of the practice on 6-3-16.

With the first week of training camp in the books, it is time to take a second look at the 53-Man Roster and how things may shake out.

After having a crowd of over 21,000 people on Saturday, more than 24,000 fans filled the lower bowls at Gillette for the session.

The weather was different on Sunday morning as the Patriots practiced thru a steady rain before being doused with a downpour just prior to practice ending.

Do you think that Patriots fans, missed football? Saturday’s practice had the incredible number of 21,781 fans packing the Gillette practice fields

for the first time, we were able to see the “big heavies”, the offensive and defensive linemen take part in 1-on-1 drills, as well as goal line and 11-on-11

Miss out on today’s action? There were more than 21,000 fans in attendance for Saturday’s practice session. Here are some of the photos from today

the team continues to tinker with Rob Ninkovich and Shea McClellin on the edge.Both spent some time both rushing off the edge and dropping into coverage.

The Pats signed two more players on Wednesday, guard Jon Halapio and TE Bear Pascoe bringing the roster to the 90 player limit.

Belichick and McDaniel will have to walk a fine line here. Garoppolo must be prepared to take the field against the Cardinals and run the offense smoothly

McCourty is the quarterback of the secondary, a co-captain of the team and the glue that holds everything together on the backend.

Rather than being a weakness, corner became a position of strength in 2015. Butler parlayed his SB heroics into a very solid first season of starting.

With many of the Sox on-hand to include skipper John Farrell, Edelman put on quite the show, blasting several homers over the Green Monster.

The Patriots have two of the best LBs in the business with Jamie Collins and Dont’a Hightower. But each missed time in 2015 and the depth was a problem.
