FOXBORO, Mass. – Some notes and observations of Wednesday’s New England Patriots practice:
– Two key players were not seen in the educational game open to reporters: runner James White and beginner center David Andrews.
White, New England’s most productive player, missed Sunday night’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks after his father’s death. It is not known when you will enroll in the computer.
Andrews played all the offensive shots in two games. The explanation for why his absence is unclear.
White and Andrews are team captains and pieces on the Patriots offensive.
– Rookie supporter Josh Uche contributed after missing a practice last week and being limited to some other due to an ankle injury that prevented him from participating in Sunday’s game.
The second-round draft selected a smart scratch in Week 1 and has not yet made his NFL debut.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick was asked about Uche, a star of the educational camp, his video convention on Wednesday morning.
“We’ll see what he’s able to do when he’s able to fully participate in the area during an era of constant time,” Belichick said. “Josh is a flexible player. You can do several things for our defense. , as I’m sure you brought him back to education camp, so let’s see how it combines when he’s able to chain in combination for a few days in game plan situations.
“It’s a little different from the field of education because it’s very explicit in the game plan, however, we’re going to paint with it when that happens and he’ll be able to paint hard. He’s a kid who paints hard. He’s wise and very competitive. He’s in a position to paint with everything we have to do. “
– The Patriots have been friendly supporters since they lost an inappropriate player, and Jamie Collins, Kyle Van Noy and Elandon Roberts have released a firm this off- season.
While Uche still has to see the picture and third-round selection Anfernee Jennings play sparingly (11 shots in two games), New England has deployed The Protection of Adrian Phillips as an internal supporter alongside starter Ja’Whaun Bentley.
Phillips can be noticed running through supporting exercises on Wednesday.
Phillips has played 73. 6% of defensive shots this season, sixth among the Patriots’ defenders. Brandon Copeland and rookie guard Kyle Dugger also watched the linebacker, either watching his shot counts increase dramatically in Week 2.
– Patriots 1-1 will receive Las Vegas Raiders 2-0 on Sunday at Gillette Stadium. The start is scheduled for thirteen ET hours.
