Postcard from camp: Branch off PUP, back in action

Share

FOXBORO - The Patriots were back on the Gillette Stadium practice fields for their final workout before heading to White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, for joint practices with the Texans.

Players were in shorts and shells. Here's what we saw...

ATTENDANCE
*Alan Branch was back in uniform, indicating he was activated off of the physically unable to perform list. Dont'a Hightower remains the lone Patriots player on PUP.

*Danny Amendola and Malcolm Mitchell both returned to 11-on-11 work and seemed to be full participants. It will bear watching whether either player will be fully involved when full pads are reintroduced.

*Cody Hollister (in a red non-contact jersey) returned to practice. Damarius Travis (also in red) was present for the session as well. Another undrafted rookie, David Jones, was back on the field for the first time since early in camp. James O'Shaughnessy was also back on the field for the first time in several practices.

*Matthew Slater, Brandon King, Tony Garcia and Matt Lengel were not spotted. At today's session.

*Hightower, Nate Solder, Mike Gillislee, Shea McClellin, Andrew Jelks (NFI), Deatrich Wise and Keionta Davis made their way to the lower fields soon after the workout began.

LAPS
*Trey Flowers and Malcom Brown were sent for laps early in the session when it appeared as though they didn't play a misdirection fake correctly.

QUARTERBACK NUMBERS
*Tom Brady was 17-for-24 in team drills. After starting practice hot, he was unable to complete each of his last five throws in what appeared to be end-of-game situations.

*Jimmy Garoppolo went 7-for-14 in the practice. He should have had at least one more completion but Rob Gronkowski dropped one of his passes in the end zone.

*Jacoby Brissett went 1-for-2 in the session. His incompletion was dropped by Sam Cotton.
