Bill Belichick just finished his daily media briefing.

He announced that safety Mel Mitchell has been activated off the PUP list. Mitchell was lost for the 2006 season in training camp due to a arm injury.
Besides that, the coach commented that the `dog days of camp' are setting in. Finding players who stand out under that stress will help the coaching staff properly evaluate the roster.
``It's a good time to evaluate your football team,'' Belichick said. ``It's now about consistency. We'll see how they come out and produce every day in a difficult environment.''
