Taylor Kyles and Mike Kadlick bring a quick but packed practice report from Gillette ahead of the Patriots’ preseason stretch. The big story is Christian Gonzalez, who picked up an injury during a contested catch rep before practice even got underway \u2014 the clock is officially ticking on his contract situation, and the injury only adds more uncertainty. Harold Landry remains out, Dre’Mont Jones left early, and the injury report is starting to pile up at the wrong time. On the bright side, Romeo Doubs is turning heads again \u2014 Drake Maye acknowledged him by name, and he’s quietly becoming one of the most consistent performers of camp. Will Campbell had a learning moment early in practice but otherwise continues to develop. Drake Maye’s day included some sharp play-action reps and a couple of touchdown throws to Hunter Henry that didn’t make the highlight reel but absolutely should have.<\/p>\n
