It's "Family & Friends" night here at Gillette Stadium, with tonight's in-stadium practice being held in front of a small crowd sitting behind the Patriots' normal bench area.

There are 17 players not spotted on the field for this workout, giving this the feel of a regular-season practice in terms of roster size:

  • QB Matt Gutierrez
  • WR Kelley Washington
  • CB Jason Webster
  • CB Jonathan Wilhite
  • S Antwain Spann
  • DB Lewis Sanders
  • CB Mike Richardson
  • S James Sanders
  • S Rodney Harrison
  • RB Kyle Eckel
  • G Stephen Neal (PUP)
  • OT Ryan O'Callaghan
  • C/G Russ Hochstein
  • OT Matt Light
  • OT Oliver Ross (PUP)
  • TE Stephen Spach
  • WR Sam Aiken

    New CB Jeff Shoate is donning jersey No. 23, last worn by Willie Andrews.

    1. Steven Neal is really hurt a lot ....He's a first string guard, but on theplaying field not in the training room.....In order to be a great offensive line you have to know each other and what your individual strengths and weaknesses are....
      That way you can "cover" each other at times during the game working as a unit !!!
      Neal is really bordering on someone you can't count on !!@!
