The New England Patriots concluded their organized team activities with a voluntary practice, with projected starters such as Jalen Mills, Matthew Judon, and Trent Brown absent. Rookie Marte Mapu, who is listed as a linebacker, continued to get looks at safety and was the most disruptive defender in the practice, breaking up one pass and intercepting another for a pick-six. Mac Jones took first reps in every competitive drill, and backup Bailey Zappe attempted more passes than Jones in this practice.
