Hey all --

Another uneventful practice today, as it once again was a walkthrough for the players.

What was interesting was seeing Donte Stallworth, Troy Brown and Chad Jackson in jerseys for the first time this season, though as we wrote in our earlier post (which we corrected from the first time through), there has been no official announcement that the trio has been activated from the PUP.

When talking to the media after the session, Stallworth was asked if his "active" participation (he did a lot more than Brown and Jackson) meant he was off the PUP.

"I suppose so," was the answer.

During the session, Bill Belichick tried a couple of punts; the first was a pooch punt and the second appeared to be blocked.

As the defensive backs were coming off the field at the end of practice, Tory James walked on his hands for a few steps, and Rodney Harrison was trying to get him to do more.

And Tom Brady spent a lot of time playing catch with and cuddling his niece, who was wearing her uncle's number 12 jersey.

Tomorrow the Patriots are back to two practices, through neither is open to the general public -- the morning session is closed entirely to the public, while the evening practice is the annual inside-the-stadium event for season ticket holders.
