- The New England Patriots held a full-pad practice on Saturday focusing on red zone and end-of-game scenarios, with several key players absent or limited due to injuries, including cornerback Christian Gonzalez and edge rusher Dre’Mont Jones.
- Free agent wide receiver Romeo Doubs showed significant progress, making multiple impressive touchdown catches during practice, while other receivers like Mack Hollins, A.J. Brown, and Hunter Henry also found success in red zone drills.
- Rookie edge defender Gabe Jacas stepped up in Jones’ absence, demonstrating strong physicality and effective pass-rushing moves during defensive reps.
- Cornerbacks Carlton Davis and Charles Woods struggled during practice, with Davis allowing several touchdowns in red zone drills and Woods being outmatched by Doubs.
