FOXBOROUGH — Practice No. 11 is in the books; let’s run down all you need to know, including stats, 1-on-1s, lineup adjustments and observations:
FOUR THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
Defense intercepts final three passes of practice: In a session closed to the public due to the BTS concert at Gillette, Drake Maye (twice) and Tommy DeVito were intercepted on consecutive throws to end it. The situation was 1:20 to go from their own 40-yard line. Maye got the Patriots into enemy territory with a contested out to A.J. Brown against Christian Gonzalez (both players had to be separated at one point in practice). But after clocking the ball, Maye forced a seam pass to Kayshon Boutte that was picked off by an undercutting Marcus Jones. Given another chance, Maye forced a seam pass to Hunter Henry into triple coverage that was high and intercepted by Kevin Byard in the end zone. DeVito was intercepted by safety John Saunders as Gabe Jacas pressured the QB.
Injuries and lineup changes: LT Will Campbell, wearing a brace on his left arm for the second-straight practice, did not take part in 1-on-1s or team drills. He was replaced by Marcus Bryant, not Caleb Lomu. He stayed almost exclusively at RT, with a few LT reps on the third team in relief of Dametrious Crownover, who was pulling double duty as the second and third team LT. … WR Romeo Doubs missed his second-straight practice, which saw Efton Chism get some of his start snaps. … CB Charles Woods and DT Christian Barmore left practice with trainers. Kindle Vildor replaced Woods. Joshua Farmer got Barmore’s reps. … DE Harold Landry was spotted for the first time with these eyes as he worked on the side in a long-sleeved shirt and shorts under the supervision of Frank Piraino, director of sports performance. He pushed a sled at one point, but he was favoring his left leg. Seems to be a ways off, but always a good sign if they appear on the field. … LG Caeden Wallace rode a bike and then left practice.
Patriots looking at veteran guard health: We told you on Wednesday to be on the lookout sooner rather than later for the Patriots getting depth help at guard. Well, it’s happening today as well-traveled 36-year-old Greg Van Roten is visiting the team. Van Roten started all 17 games the last three years for the Raiders (2023) and Giants (’24-25). He was in the Josh McDaniels offense in Vegas. Nothing has worked for the Patriots behind starters Alijah Vera-Tucker and Mike Onwenu. Caeden Wallace, Ben Brown, Mehki Butler, James Hudson and Andrew Rupcich have all had opportunities to this point, and it has not gone well.

Note: I do not have the number of reps that some other writers have because I do not count when the offense is “working off cards.” Those are plays when an assistant coach literally brings out a play on a card and shows it to one side of the ball. They are not running their own plays, so since there are so many x-factors — including the receiver running the right route, and blockers executing correctly — I do not count those reps.
