Day 8 is in the books after a hot morning on the practice fields next to Gillette Stadium. Football is so close to being back for us all as the Pats continue to put in the work ahead of their first preseason game next Thursday against the Giants.
Let’s take a look at the Tweets Of Note from Day 8 of the Patriots 2022 Training Camp!
Not a cloud in the sky for what was an absolute scorcher in Foxboro, oh what I’d give to have been there sunning it up.
Caley had at one point been considered the next OC in waiting for the team, but instead remains the TEs coach.
No Matt Judon or Dalton Keene, who were the only new absences today, good to get a group of returns who were missing yesterday, however.
Not good news for Tavai who went into the medical tent following this injury, he was also visited by Bill and Steven Belichick, along with Jerrod Mayo.
After being limited through the first week of camp, it’s great that Strong has been getting involved in full drills, a lot of fans will watch him this year with a lot of intrigue, myself included, especially if he can carve out a role in a busy RB room.
A nice breakdown here from Evan Lazar, who’s been keeping an eagle eye on both offensive & defensive lines. The key standout for me was Cole Strange holding his own against Christian Barmore, the latter who has been making light work of most opposition so far in camp.
A yearly tradition now conducted by Matthew Slater, where veterans officially welcome the 2022 rookies.
A note from Andrew Callahan lending some praise to Josh Uche for his work in 1v1 drills earlier, a player who I expect to take a much bigger jump into year 3 than he did for year 2.
No morning practice tomorrow, instead a lighter session inside Gillette Stadium for season ticket holders and local residents is planned for the evening.
