FOXBOROUGH – On Day 3 of training camp, Mike Vrabel took it easy on his Patriots players. Friday marked the third practice in a row and the first where players practiced in shorts, T-shirts, and without helmets. This session was a walkthrough for Vrabel’s Patriots as the head coach wanted to rest his players before ramping things up on Saturday.

The New England Patriots held the team's second practice of training camp on Thursday, and it was much different than Wednesday's opening session.

Diggs has caught five passes from Maye in team drills through four practices, while Douglas has seven. Diggs has worked exclusively with the starting offense, while Douglas has taken scant reps with the backup units. Both players are far ahead of all other wideouts.
