A Light Practice Before Heading To Philly.

Sundays practice may of just been about fundamentals if anything. It was to make sure the team was read for joint practice and that they weren't making dumb mistakes. There wasn't a lot to report for the day.

Mac Jones

Jones found Zuber for a touchdown with Bethel in coverage. Then Jones went to what seemed to be his favorite target of the preseason game, Kristian Wilkerson for a couple of passes. He also threw to Bolden (drop). Jones continues to show connection with Olszewski who dropped another pass with Ross in coverage.

Jones was able to find Harry in coverage as well during a two minute drill for a touchdown. Jones doesn't mind "fifty-fifty" balls in practice, the Patriots got to get him willing to make those throws in game day. LeCosse was also targeted by Jones.

Returning starter Cam Newton worked with the number ones, he also did some two minute drill work. Cam Found Agholor, he also found Meyers and LeCosse who dropped it. The main focus over Cam is his Instagram post about loyalty that came Friday morning.

Kyle Van Noy picked off Hoyer, go figure right? As backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham is still on the pup. Another player to watch maybe Justin Bethel who had an uptick in reps after Mills's bad game as number two corner. Mills was signed to be a hybrid and not a stationary piece and we saw why against Washington.

Jonnu Smith suffered a minor ankle injury on Sunday. After Hunter Henry went down, It was kinda surprising the team didn't put Smith in bubble wrap. We know the Patriots like to down play player's injuries. Take Sanu back in 2019. He had an upper ankle injury. It was fine according to the Patriots but after the season, we learned it was actually a season ending injury and he played through it. Edelman that year also had a season ending injury and played through it. With how little the Patriots have to release, watch this. Smith spent 10 minutes in the medical tent.

Henry, Barmore, Winovich, Joe Cardona, and David Andrews all returned to camp today.  Nick Folk was out again, no biggie though. He's only in the middle of a kicking competition.

Roster cuts have begun. The Patriots have cut Marvin Hall, David Wells, Jerald Hawkins, and Rashod Berry. I expected Berry to be cut after the final preseason game, so this one was a head scratcher. The Patriots apparently still have knee cut to make to get down to 85.
