Patriots end minicamp with high-intensity finale led by Drake Maye

The New England Patriots closed their 2026 offseason with the final day of mandatory minicamp, finishing a hot, high-intensity practice in Foxboro. Several players were limited or sidelined (Gabe Jacas, Harold Landry III, Jack Westover out; Morgan Moses limited; Christian Gonzalez and Kayshon Boutte limited; Robert Spillane managed workload; Dial Jr. rehabbing ACL). Drake Maye led a competitive red-zone session, connecting with A.J. Brown on a back-shoulder end-zone grab and throwing TDs to Hunter Henry, Eli Raridon, and TreVeyon Henderson, plus a wheel-route score to Henderson. The defense generated multiple stops and breakups from Byard, Davis, Woods, Crossley, and Muma, while Caleb Lomu showed versatility at right tackle and left guard behind starter Alijah Vera-Tucker. DeVito and Morton had rough moments as backups, and with Westover sidelined the day wrapped up about 20 minutes early after Maye tumbled, prompting Vrabel to halt practice and close spring.

US Open Group D with Paraguay: Lineups, Tactics, and a 2-1 Forecast

USA, hosting Group D at SoFi Stadium, enter as favorites against Paraguay.
