FOXBORO - Tom Brady got the morning off from practice today as the Patriots manage his reps early in camp. This was the second straight practice Brady missed (he sat Sunday afternoon) but sources tell us there's nothing amiss with the quarterback. The team is merely resting his arm (which they did last season as well) and allowing backup quarterback Matt Cassel to run the show.
Tight end Benjamin Watson and wide receiver Troy Brown also took the morning off. Long snapper Lonie Paxton returned.
Head coach Bill Belichick spoke briefly to reporters on the practice field after the morning session but had to skip his daily press conference because of a conference call. He looked heartbroken about that.
The team goes again this afternoon at 2:30 p.m.
