The third-year backup was the only player to fumble during a 1-on-1 pursuit drill midway through practice. But for someone facing high expectations who didn't earn a single target in team drills Wednesday, this was marked improvement.
Thornton ran with the second-team offense and caught three of his four passes from fellow rookie Bailey Zappe. Henry high-pointed the ball while spinning back toward the middle of the field and kept possession as he crashed to the turf. His first catch was a stunning grab over Kyle Dugger in the back left corner of the end zone. Henry caught every pass within his reach, going 3-of-4 overall on targets in team drills. The stats in parentheses represent each quarterback's passing totals for training camp. Note: The passing stats below were tallied during competitive, full-speed periods of 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 only. He's averaged two pass breakups per practice, an untenable pace, but for now a reason to think this forgotten former sixth-round pick could make the roster. Bledsoe deflected passes for Jonnu Smith and Devin Asiasi, then closed by ripping at Dalton Keene's arms as the ball arrived during the final 11-on-11 period. He forced a team-high three incompletions, all from tight ends. ‘Watch him’: Patriots believe pass rusher Josh Uche is primed for a breakoutĪfter practicing for barely a month last season, when he missed all of training camp and started on the Non-Football Injury list, Bledsoe looks like a new man. Spinning back toward the sideline, he secured a back-shoulder grab, toe-tapped in bounds and fell outside the end zone for a touchdown. Parker, who had been running step for step with Jalen Mills from the 10, threw on the brakes.
On the opening snap of 11-on-11s, Jones took a three-step drop and on his third step ripped a throw to the left sideline. His score on Thursday? That was a piece of art. Jump balls over two rookies and Joejuan Williams, plays that naturally stood out, but for a No. Parker’s three touchdowns on Wednesday were all fairly straightforward. Strong joined his teammates on the PUP and NFI lists on the lower conditioning field immediately after opening warmups. The reason he missed practice was unknown. Notes: Wise was the only new absence from Wednesday’s opening practice. NFI: DB Marcus Bryant, OL Chasen Hines, OL Andrew Stueber PUP: C David Andrews, RB James White, DB Jonathan Jones, S Jabrill Peppers
