Pats Pulpit
The Patriots will continue their 2025 training camp on Monday.
Coming off the first off day of this year’s training camp, the New England Patriots are set to return with a bang. It’s the first day of full pads in Foxborough, meaning a serious uptick in both physicality and competition.
Here is everything else you need to know about the session.
The Patriots’ fifth 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.
With full pads being introduced to the mix, we are going to keep a close eye out for everything associated with them. The 1-on-1 blocking battles between offensive and defensive linemen; how receivers and cornerbacks fare in press-man coverage; the pass rush in full team drills; injuries — you name it. Monday will be intense.
NFI: S Josh Minkins
PUP: WR Mack Hollins, TE Austin Hooper, OT Vederian Lowe
DNP: WR Ja’Lynn Polk
Limited: CB Carlton Davis III
Injured: LB Jahlani Tavai
The Patriots’ list of absentees has seen no changes over the last few days, but two new players joined the mix. First, Carlton Davis was limited again — a means of reducing his exposure while he is trying to come back from injury. Additionally, Jahlani Tavai left Saturday’s session with an apparent injury and did not return; he had started training camp on the non-football list because of a calf issue.
RB TreVeyon Henderson: Due to the absence of full pads, the running game has not played a major role in the Patriots’ camp so far. This is set to change on Monday, and with it the exposure the team’s running backs are going to get. Top on our list of players to keep an eye on is second-round rookie TreVeyon Henderson, whose speed in the passing game was already enticing.
WR Stefon Diggs: The Patriots’ high-profile free agency signing has looked good so far in his first extended practice action since tearing his ACL last October. The upcoming uptick in physicality, however, will be the next big challenge in his recovery and will help either confirm or reset the early optimism.
OT Will Campbell and Morgan Moses: Campbell’s position as the Patriots’ starting left tackle is in no danger, but the first-round rookie will still need to be at his best starting on Monday. His battles with the defensive line, most prominently Keion White, were already quite entertaining — with pads coming on, they will be taken to the next...
