The Patriots will continue their 2025 training camp on Friday.
The New England Patriots will be back at work for a third straight day on Friday morning: t is time for their third training camp practice of the summer. The session will once again take place in shorts and helmets, as part of the lead-up to the first full-pads workout next week.
Other than that, here is everything else you need to know about practice No. 3.
The Patriots’ third training camp session will again take place on the practice fields behind Gillette Stadium. As are most other sessions, it is open to the general public at no cost.
As always, the schedule is tentative and subject to change. For more information, please visit our Pats Pulpit Training Camp Guide.

WR Kyle Williams: After a nice debut on Wednesday, Williams’ second day in camp was more quiet. The third-round rookie dropped his only target, and did not see Drake Maye throw a single pass his way in a competitive setting all session. With the Patriots potentially looking to incorporate more downfield throws again — they mostly focused on the short and quick game on Day 2 — maybe the young wideout will get more chances again.
RB Lan Larison: With Rhamondre Stevenson, Antonio Gibson and TreVeyon Henderson atop the depth chart, the Patriots’ undrafted rookie had a quiet day on Thursday. That being said, he did manage to haul in a pass from fellow UDFA Ben Wooldridge. He will need to continue to make the most of his opportunities if he wants to join the top trio on the eventual depth chart this fall.
