The New England Patriots held their ninth day of training camp and third day in a row on the practice fields behind Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts on Saturday.
This practice session was a hot one, and the players were in full pads. This picked the energy up for Jerod Mayo's team, as they have less than a week to prepare for their first preseason game under his leadership.
