Looks like we have our first injury of the preseason as Greg Orton went down and was carted off. As I flipped on Sportscenter this morning (a somewhat rare occurance) I immediately noticed a player down and being tended to by the training staff. It was a tense few moments until someone said it was Orton. Nothing against him, just grateful it wasn’t someone at the higher end of the depth chart. Hope he’s okay.
Here are some tweets that stood out to me today…
Dan Connolly got a lot of time in at center. He certainly has versatility. I thought Josh Kline got some good looks, too.

Been saying that Connolly has an advantage over Wendell in that he’s versatile. Wendell’s only a center and it could cost him a job.
Not a good day for Garoppolo. Intercepted by Chris White and Daxton Swanson, among the many incompletions.

Swanson’s going to be one to keep an eye on this preseason
Very active day for Vereen catching passes. White ran the wrong route and drew some ire for it.

Kyle Arrington and Julian Edelman got into a brief shoving match late in Patriots training camp practice.

Thompkins just had another diving TD catch, this time while being covered by Revis.

Gronk said he’s not going to change his “smashing and dashing” physical style of play due to injuries.
