Patriots:

The Patriots training camp practice on Thursday was the beginning of game prep. Situational football and special teams with referees on hand marked the day

One of the key players to watch during the Patriots’ training camp has been DE Jabaal Sheard. He’s off to a very solid start and is primed for a key role.

Former Patriot Willie McGinest was honored on Wednesday night as the defensive end was enshrined into the team’s Hall of Fame in front of a big crowd outside the Hall At Patriot Place Presented by Ratheon.

After releasing offensive lineman Kevin Hughes and defensive lineman Vince Taylor on Monday, the Patriots added some additional players Tuesday as they continue getting a look at players in their second week of training camp.
