The Patriots got a bit of a break Friday on the third day of training camp, but things are about to ramp up in Foxboro.

FOXBOROUGH – On Day 3 of training camp, Mike Vrabel took it easy on his Patriots players. Friday marked the third practice in a row and the first where players practiced in shorts, T-shirts, and without helmets. This session was a walkthrough for Vrabel’s Patriots as the head coach wanted to rest his players before ramping things up on Saturday.

It was an extremely light workout for Diggs and the Patriots on Friday — there were more bucket hats and baseball caps than helmets, and the players were in shorts and T-shirts.
