Tweets of Note: 2020 Camp -#7 8/24

by

Another warm day in Foxborough as the Patriots were back in pads to begin a new week. Before drills got underway, the yearly slip and slide welcoming show for the rookie coaches and players took place. Matthew Slater was on hose duty ensuring the newbies were well and truly drenched before practice started.

Here’s the Tweets of Note from today.

Good news for RB James White, CB Michael Jackson, and RB J.J. Taylor who all returned to practice today, likely caught up in the false-positive saga that made the news yesterday. Also back today was LB Tashawn Bower, whos return is a big plus, the position is already pretty thin, hopefully, he can get back on track for a good end to camp.

Patriots sign K Nick Folk and DT Michael Barnett

by

The Patriots today announced two signings, taking the team to its 80-man roster limit.

K Nick Folk

After Justin Rohrwasser’s unusual start to camp, I felt it was only a matter of time before another K was brought into the mix, and today that became a reality at the Pats re-signed Nick Folk.

Folk, a 12-year veteran in the league, went 14/17 FG and 12/12 XP for the Patriots last season where he suited up in 7 games. With Rohrwasser dealing with an injury that may be the cause of his inconsistencies so far, a kicker battle is now set to ensue.

DT Michael Barnett

The 6-foot-4, 304-pounder out of Georgia joins the team to add depth to the d-line position. Barnett went undrafted this year after playing in 46 games over his four-year career for the Bulldogs.

Can’t expect much more than a camp bubble chance for Barnett, even with Beau Allen missing from practice so far, the position is pretty deep and he’ll need to do something spectacular to earn a spot with the time remaining.

DT depth- Adam Butler, Beau Allen, Byron Cowart, Bill Murray, Xavier Williams, Michael Barnett
