Through eight practices, there’s been a lot to like and learn about the Patriots. Here’s everything we’ve seen in Foxboro.

FOXBOROUGH - The Patriots held their annual in-stadium practice on Friday night, welcoming season-ticket members to watch. And head coach Mike Vrabel decided to have some fun, opting for the team to have a scrimmage where the team split up the coaching staff and had them draft the players to either the white or the blue team.

FOXBOROUGH - With nine practices in the books, four of those coming in pads, the Patriots took the weekend to recharge ahead of Wednesday’s joint practices with Washington and Friday’s preseason opener with the Commanders. After taking in all of those practices, some things have become clearer with respect to the team, others not so much.
