On Monday, the New England Patriots held their first of three mandatory minicamp sessions on the practice fields next to Gillette Stadium.

However, after the session ended, the team announced that they were canceling Tuesday's session, as players will be participating in the team's "Community Day."

According to a press release from the Patriots, the players and coaches will split into four groups and go to four different locations, including The Perkings Community Center/Lee School in Dorchester, Massachusetts, Lila Fredericks Middle School in Boston, Elevated Thought in Lawrence and Meryl's Safe Haven in Worcester.

This will give the team a bonding opportunity while helping out some young Massachusetts residents in multiple areas.

The team will hit the practice fields again for their final mandatory minicamp session.
