HEADLINES

  • There were three NFL officials on the field for the first time.
  • Patriots did their annual soaking of the rookies with a firehose. Included were new staff members Joe Judge and Steve Belichick, among others.
  • Brandon Spikes was missing from practice. As a result, Dont'a Hightower moved to the middle and was backed up by Mike Rivera, with Dane Fletcher not participating in team drills.
  • Ryan Wendell was back with the first team at center. Because of injuries at tackle, Nick McDonald had to play left tackle with the second team. Don't think he's ever done that before, even when he was with the Packers.
  • CB Ras-I Dowling is starting to stack success. Had a nice break on the ball to break up a pass. That followed an interception on Sunday.
