It has nothing to do with the contract,&#8221; said Mayo.\u00a0 &#8220;He had a little bit of tightness, but he\u2019s another guy who you want to reward the players that embody or encompass what we\u2019re trying to create here from a cultural perspective. And also, at the end of the day, it\u2019s all about wins and losses, and he helps with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While he is heading into the final year of his deal, it&#8217;s hard to pinpoint his issue in terms of where he falls in regard to other players around the league.\u00a0 The veteran <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotrac.com\/nfl\/contracts\/_\/position\/dl\/sort\/average\/dir\/desc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>falls right in the middle in terms of his contract<\/strong><\/a>, which puts him relatively in line when it comes to his peers.\u00a0 According to Spotrac, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotrac.com\/nfl\/player\/_\/id\/21920\/davon-godchaux\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>he&#8217;s set to make $7.15 million in base salary<\/strong><\/a>, with one potential factor being that it&#8217;s not guaranteed until the beginning of the season.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s possible they could give him a bump in pay or, if nothing else, guarantee his salary ahead of the season, which would at least reduce his risk should he get hurt in camp.<\/p>\n<p>For now, they remain at a stalemate, and it appears Godchaux will want to continue being cautious until something changes on that front.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Clarity on Douglas<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Demario Douglas has seemingly been limited early on in practice, which raised some eyebrows given that he&#8217;s one of the most explosive and productive players in their offense.<\/p>\n<p>However, the second-year wideout was spotted with a wrap on his hand Thursday, which indicates it&#8217;s not a lower-body injury and is instead, hopefully, something like potentially a jammed finger or at least something that he can work through and won&#8217;t be an issue by the time camp is over.<\/p>\n<p>Douglas is apparently not the only guy dealing with a hand issue.\u00a0 Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reported recently that rookie Javon Baker also <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_AndrewCallahan\/status\/1815486420867584182\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>reportedly suffered a fractured thumb back in the spring<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 So far, he&#8217;s been out there, but it at least explains the time he missed last month.\u00a0 It also explains some of the early drops he&#8217;s had.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Odds and Ends<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Rookie\u00a0<strong>Ja&#8217;Lynn\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Polk<\/strong> had a tough day, with Polk having a tough time coming down with a couple of throws, including one where\u00a0<strong>Marcus Jones<\/strong> did a good job in coverage against him.\u00a0 Jones has started things off well as he works his way back into the secondary, which is a good sign for a group that still has some questions there. &#8230; Jones also got some work returning kicks on Thursday, which is a reminder that the Patriots essentially had a key addition injected back into their roster as he returns following the injury he suffered that sidelined him for 2023.\u00a0 Joining Jones, Reagor, Polk, and\u00a0<strong>K.J. Osborn<\/strong> each also spent time returning kicks yesterday. &#8230; <strong>Matthew Judon<\/strong> continued practicing and made some noise during 11-on-11s.\u00a0 Owner Robert Kraft also briefly spoke to him after he arrived on the field, albeit, it&#8217;s tough to know what the context of that conversation was.\u00a0 But it was interesting nonetheless. &#8230; Offensive lineman\u00a0<strong>Michael Jordan<\/strong> was the first player on the field on Thursday. Jordan has been putting in the work and trying to make an impression, and it&#8217;s certainly not a bad thing to be the first guy at work. &#8230;\u00a0<strong>Antonio Gibson<\/strong>, who remains on NFI, was at least present but didn&#8217;t participate on Tuesday.\u00a0 Seeing him on the field is encouraging as he continues working on coming back from whatever has been hampering him. &#8230; Former Patriots wideout <strong>Danny Amendola<\/strong> was present in Foxboro taking in Thursday&#8217;s session.\u00a0 Amendola also spent some time talking with former teammate\u00a0<strong>Dont&#8217;a Hightower<\/strong>, who is now continuing the next phase of his NFL career as a coach here in New England. &#8230;\u00a0<strong>Joey Slye<\/strong> was a notable absence early on, but he appeared on the field later in practice. &#8230;\u00a0<strong>Vederian Lowe<\/strong> saw time at right tackle as the club mixed things up after\u00a0<strong>Calvin Anderson\u00a0<\/strong>lined up as the top player there Wednesday. &#8230; <strong>Christian Barmore\u00a0<\/strong>was limited on Thursday but he&#8217;s reportedly dealing with an illness. &#8230; Both\u00a0<strong>Christian Gonzalez <\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Marcus Jones<\/strong> were spotted catching passes during receiver drills yesterday, which was interesting. &#8230;\u00a0<strong>Brenden Schooler\u00a0<\/strong>also had reps on defense Thursday, getting some work in at safety during the first team period.\u00a0 That adds some additional versatility to the special teams standout. &#8230; <strong>Cole Strange<\/strong> was spotted on the field Thursday, although he didn&#8217;t participate but the third-year offensive lineman clearly wants to be around his teammates as he continues coming back from his knee injury. &#8230; <strong>Jonathan Jones<\/strong> continues to take first team reps opposite Gonzalez in the secondary.\u00a0 Until the team makes another move, whether it&#8217;s adding\u00a0<strong>Stephon Gilmore<\/strong> or another player, that seems to be the early plan heading into 2024 at that position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One day after fully taking part in practice, veteran Davon Godchaux wasn&#8217;t present at Thursday&#8217;s session, which now raises
