The Patriots think very highly of Jerod Mayo. But if Belichick goes, the Krafts may want Vrabel and Caserio https://t.co/ztYyVkrvQm

Every day in Texans practice now

Drake Maye has completed two deep touchdowns to Kayshon Boutte with Derek Stingley in coverage in his career (the first was Maye's first NFL TD).

Stingley has allowed two deep receptions on 34 targets against all other QBs since 2024.

Patriots trade wide receiver Kayshon Boutte to Texans https://t.co/idpuShsFXg

[Ben Volin @BenVolin]

Understand having to trade Boutte because of the logjam, but Pats couldn’t get more than a backup safety and a 7th round pick two years from now?

[Aaron Wilson @AaronWilson_NFL]

Full trade terms: #Texans get wide receiver Kayshon Boutte in exchance for safety Jaylen Reed and 2028 seventh-round draft pick, per a league source

Christian Gonzalez returned to Patriots practice. Was limited at first but took a lot of full team reps.

The grass was noticeably slick today. TreVeyon Henderson slipped and left early with apparent ankle injury. AJ Brown also had a scary misstep but avoided a non-contact injury

Unless Shedeur dominated the competition, which he didn’t, it makes sense for the Browns to start the season with Watson. It’s a lot easier to “to turn the kid” after a few bad weeks instead of the other way around

[Ben Volin @BenVolin]

Mike Vrabel says Christian Gonzalez is closer to returning to practice (maybe today), and the Patriots need to sign a new punter after Bryce Baringer got hurt on Saturday night. @ByMarkDaniels on it first

[Ben Volin @BenVolin]

Mike Vrabel seems really unhappy with the Patriots’ backups https://t.co/lLxkFW2dHZ via @BostonGlobe

@schadjoe He was. Teams aren’t allowed to deflate the balls after they have been inspected by the refs

Joe Milton has strong game, but Cowboys backup QB competition "long from over." https://t.co/quapItlHfX

Jalen Hurts is on his seventh playcaller in seven years, but this one marks the most drastic change yet https://t.co/jXYbXl9CHj

Patriots rookie Behren Morton: 5 of 6 passing for 44 yards, and 3 punts for a 44.3 average. Only thing missing is a leather helmet

[Ben Volin @BenVolin]

Good from 73
