Today was one of those practices where each new tweet seems to be bad information, with LeGarrette Blount suffering an injury that forced him to leave practice being the headline. And that wasn’t the only injury, on top of a total of 21 Patriots not practicing. Yes, the battle of attrition in camp is real and has a huge effect on who makes the team. Here are the tweets of note from Friday…
Patriots had 21 players not practicing today. New additions: Scott Chandler, Matt Wells, Eric Martin, and Jimmay Mundine.

Bryan Stork and Malcom Brown didn’t finish practice due to injuries. Blount went down earlier.

#Patriots practice concludes. Sense we have hit “dog days” of camp. A bit lethargic for 3rd straight practice. 22 players absent (health).

And in a tackling drill later on in the afternoon, Collins threw Develin to the ground. One of the biggest and cleanest hits of the summer.

Rookies Malcom Brown (pre sitting out), Jordan Richards, Darryl Roberts, Trey Flowers worked at times with guys thought to be 1st teamers.
