Practice wrap

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.

Lots of "new" faces

Hey all -

It would appear that today was a big day for players on the PUP, as Troy Brown, Donte Stallworth, and Chad Jackson are all on the field in uniform.

There has been no announcement yet that the trio has been activated.

Also on the field for the first time in several days are Kyle Brady and Rashad Baker; Randy Moss and Adalius Thomas are also in uniform.

PUPers Richard Seymour and Eddie Jackson are out here in street clothes.

So the only players on the roster but not on the field are David Thomas and Asante Samuel.

It looks like this will be more of a walkthrough, as the players don't have any pads on.
