Patriots prepare for workouts with Saints

The team did not update Jackson’s condition after practice.

The Patriots have dealt with a rash of injuries to multiple different position groups all throughout training camp, and Belichick said that there will be a process by which the trainers and coaches will determine who travels and who doesn’t.

The Saints are scheduled to practice independently at The Greenbrier again on Tuesday before holding joint practices with the New England Patriots on Wednesday and Thursday. “There haven’t been any issues, there hasn’t been any fighting or any of that other stuff”. Other guys we won’t.it’s really on a case-by-case basis.

The problem areas weren’t limited to just the first-team defense, which gave up touchdown drives of 80 and 68 yards on the Ravens’ first two possessions, then watched Baltimore add field goals on their next two drives. In the case of inclement weather – rain is forecast for Wednesday and Thursday – practice may be held on the lower field, if there’s no lightning.

“Shoot, everything from how he acquires personnel”, said Payton.

To help you stay up to date with all of today’s action, below is a Twitter list widget I’ve put together to help you follow along. ‘Here’s how you get better quick. We kind of have it all laid out. We can use the spring scouting reports for sure, back in May for example, or June. “A lot of it was things that we were not doing well”. I know there’ll be two-minute each day.

“The times we’ve worked together, it’s been real positive”, Payton said during a media availability this week at The Greenbrier. “They’ll just be in a joint form”. But there will still be some old familiar faces around, regardless. “It’ll be a fresh start to go against a new secondary”.

Well, as you can see, with football comes injuries.

Payton, too, recognizes that fresh opposition likely will be productive for both teams. “In our third week now, the timing of seeing someone else can heighten the awareness or the competition some, in a good way”. And Ryan Wright did return after practice to get some more conditioning work in on the field right behind me. “This won’t be a big golf weekend”. “And typically, that permeates the teams”.

I chatted with Gus Kattengell on “The Sports Hangover” about which Saints players I will keep an eye on during the two-day practice session and in Saturday night’s preseason game at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. “I also think it’s good for the young guys”. “You’ve had a chance to work against a receiver for one of the other teams, or work against a corner or a pass rusher”.
