Yesterday the Patriots were given the day off following a week of practices back in pads. This morning, the team will be back on the training field as we enter the three-week countdown to kickoff against Miami.

Plenty of news to cover from the past week, so let’s get our Sunday check-in from training camp.

Camp News

Over the past week, there have been some great moments for fans to take notice of ahead of the new season. Most notably, S Kyle Dugger has stood out as one of the top players on the practice field, made some big plays, and has been involved in special team drills. Still early in his development jump from Div II Lenoir–Rhyne, but an exciting beginning for the rookie.

The week has flown by and Friday’s practice has now been and gone. A lighter session today in just shells and helmets, probably a good thing given how big the absent list has grown over the last few days.

Here’s today’s Tweets of Note.

Now, this wasn’t something I was expecting, Stidham looks to have avoided a serious leg injury following a visit to the hospital yesterday. He was at practice but only participated in a few drills with the majority of reps going to Cam Newton and Brian Hoyer.

After a lighter session yesterday, the Patriots were back in pads on the practice field. Can you believe it’s just over three weeks until the first game of the season against Miami?

Here are the Tweets of Note from the fourth media attended practice.

Many will be glad to hear that UDFA WR Jeff Thomas finally graced the practice field today for the first time. He was involved in the early drills before being limited for the remainder of the session today.

Following two straight days in pads, the players wore shells for practice today, a sign of workload management as we hit mid-week.

I present today’s Tweets of Note along with my thoughts:

The good bit of news regarding attendance was that a limited Julian Edelman yesterday was able to fully participate today. The bad news is that the absent list has grown by two.

And just like that, day two of padded practice is in the books. The weather looked good in Foxborough earlier today for the second consecutive media attended practice.

Here are today’s Tweets of Note:

Today was the first time the media contingent were allowed access to the Patriots facility this season, so Tweets of Note is back! I’ll be doing these on most, if not all of the media attended practices as we head towards the regular season.

Here are some of the stand out tweets of the day, along with my thoughts.

Patriots Sunday supplement 8/16

Today marked the end of the Patriots ‘OTA’-like return to camp practices, sessions which allowed veterans and rookies to settle into a new regime as mandated by the league. The first taste of football we’ve had since the end of last season has been great, but really, we’re all excited about the session tomorrow.

Why? Because tomorrow, the Patriots will have their first fully padded practice of camp, and it will be the first time any media (other than the Patriots Unfiltered crew) will be allowed to attend. Make sure you keep an eye out for the return of ‘Tweets of Note’ on the blog tomorrow.
