Workouts continue

FOXBOROUGH -- Many Patriots players are continuing their work in the team’s offseason program, which is scheduled to conclude July 7.

“That last week, we’ll have some testing to see if we've improved, and then we go,” said second-year guard Logan Mankins after his Friday workout.

Players will have a few weeks off before returning for training camp. The official start of training camp is July 28, although players often arrive before that day.

Mankins himself enjoyed a 3-to-4 week vacation in California shortly after the 2005 season concluded. He said the “offseason has flown by.”

“Right now, we’re just lifting weights, and we finished up our minicamp last week and that seemed to go pretty well,” he said. “I think everyone has the right idea for this year. We’re all on the same page as to what we’re going to try to do. It looks to me like everyone is working hard.”
