How many wide receivers will the Patriots keep on their initial 53-man roster?

After missing the first week of camp, rookie Gabe Jacas is working hard to get in the mix.

The second week of training camp began with some spirited work inside the WIN Waste Innovations Field House on Monday.

Rookie TE Tanner Arkin and RB Jam Miller are among the early under-the-radar standouts at Patriots training camp.

Undrafted rookie Tanner Arkin is right in the thick of the battle for the role of blocking tight end.

With the Patriots holding their first two padded practices of training camp, here's how things played out in the trenches over the last two days.

For the second straight day in pads, Drake Maye and the offense were on fire in Foxborough.

After some pass-heavy days in shorts, the Patriots put on the pads for the first time on Thursday and went to work on the running game.

With padded practices beginning on Thursday, here are some initial thoughts on Patriots training camp through four practices.

Christian Gonzalez has been a constant presence in the lineup as he hopes to earn a new contract extension with the Patriots.

Two veteran free agent additions Kevin Byard and Dre'Mont Jones are looking to reinforce the Patriots defense and build off a stellar playoff run.

It's still early and the pads have yet to come on but the defense is off to a strong start in camp.
