Hey all --

Good morning from quiet Gillette Stadium, where the players are on the field and we are in the press box.

As expected after two straight walk-throughs, this promises to be a more physical practice, with players in full pads.

And with the heavy artillery on, the attendance has once again dipped: not spotted are Chad Jackson, Eddie Jackson, Rashad Baker, Troy Brown, Randy Moss, David Thomas, Kyle Brady or Richard Seymour. And of course Asante Samuel.

Donte Stallworth is out there, in full pads. Still no official announcement that he's off the PUP, however.
