Patriots training camp recap: Offseason additions active at wide receiver

Key Points:

• The New England Patriots conducted a third straight padded practice without a set script, focusing on simulating in-game drives to build rhythm and conditioning, with several veterans given limited workloads.
• Key absences included CB Carlton Davis III and OG Alijah Vera-Tucker, while rookie pass rusher Gabe Jacas was activated off the NFI list and participated in a limited capacity.
• Wide receiver Romeo Doubs had his most productive practice, catching multiple passes in both 7-on-7 and full-team drills, while A.J. Brown also performed well before leaving early due to limited workload.
• The Patriots' defense forced multiple turnovers, including interceptions by safety Dell Pettus and rookie cornerback Karon Prunty, marking a positive development after a stretch without defensive takeaways.
• Quarterback Drake Maye had a slightly less efficient day with a couple of mistakes but still completed several impressive downfield throws, and kicker Andy Borregales continued his strong performance, making all five field goal attempts including a long 55-yard kick.
