Instead of playing out the final two OTA practices this week, the Patriots played paintball on Monday.

Most of the players appeared to have fun, but the activity didn't end too well for linebacker Kyle Van Noy. On Tuesday, he was playing Fortnite with fellow teammate Dont'a Hightower when he shared his experience from the match.

"I got hit, I'm telling you. This paintball hit me in the mask, and the mask hit my tooth and my s— still hurts," Van Noy said.

Hightower teased him after, making him tell the audience who did it. Van Noy was reluctant at first before saying, "Bill got my ass."

Van Noy, who's playing in the Fortnite Pro-Am this Sunday with NickMercs, should be fine health-wise moving forward. And now he has a fun Bill Belichick story to share.
