Hey all --

We are just in from the lower practice field, where New England is holding its daily session, and there was no number 22 to be spotted. When Bill Belichick was asked this morning whether Asante Samuel had taken his mandatory conditioning run yet, Belichick simply said that the corner is going through the same series of events every player goes through when he starts training camp.

Other players not spotted today on the field:

Rodney Harrison
Eugene Wilson
Mike Richardson
Randy Moss
Mike Wright
Rashad Baker
Kareem Brown
Russ Hochstein

Tom Brady received a rubdown of his right forearm while stretching; in the locker room, our eagle-eyed photographer, Bob Breidenbach, spotted Brady with a blue compression sleeve-type thing on the same arm.
