FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — While other teams scramble to make it to their college-based training camps this week, the New England Patriots will stay at home … and get started quickly.
As a result of the new agreement between the players and owners on Monday, the Patriots can begin reporting to Gillette Stadium on Tuesday, if desired. Training camp will officially begin in Foxborough on Wednesday, and the first practice is set for Thursday.
The workouts on Thursday will be open to the public, though, times are still to be announced. The initial practices will likely be scaled back a bit while the players continue to work toward playing shape.
