I have a bunch of stuff up now just from today's joint practice session with the Patriots. That's all up on ESPN.com. Go give that a look. And also, Mike Reese, my colleague here

in New England, wrote a story about one of the skirmishes here that left Patriots coach Mike

Vrable a little bit bloodied. So anyways, that's up on ESPN.com. And also, don't forget,

As you can see, maybe you can hear there's a helicopter here landing.ening, that is for Patriots owner Robert Kraft.

If you recall back in the day, it was Dan Snyder who used to take the helicopters. It's worked out. The helicopters worked out a little bit better for Kraft. Has a few more Super Bowl trophies than Dan Snyder ever did. But there we go. And as you can see, I'm kind of showing you there. You can see the goalposts here at Gillette Stadium. if you're, excuse me, outside of Gillette's d'am.

I'm actually in the concourse area over at Gillette, just looking for a good place to shoot the video. So you can see the practice field out there if you're watching on YouTube. Anyways, got a couple of things on the joint practice session. Before I get there, I will have another podcast that will come out Thursday, late Thursday afternoon. You can watch that going into the game Friday night. I'll be talking to

Nikki Javala from The Athletic. Yes, the Athletic. So I'll talk to Nikki tomorrow. We'll have that

up Thursday afternoon. So you can watch this and then watch that and get ready for the preseason game.

And then I will be doing another ready for the preseason game.

And then I will be doing another one after the preseason game as well. So there were seven players who did not travel to New England for this joint practice.

Of course, Terry McLaren and Sam Cosby, both on the P.UPLS, Noah Brown,

Javante John Baptiste, Brandon Coleman, Jordan McGee, Marcus Marriota, all stayed home.

Now, Dan Quinn said none of the injuries are serious.

He said Marriott is dealing with a lower leg injury, but I did not expect Marietta to play

much in the preseason, if at all.
