The New England Patriots now have two training camp practices in the books, and the second-year wide receiver has been missing in action for both sessions, further creating an uphill climb for the 2024 second-round pick to make the opening 53-man roster.

The New England Patriots held the team's second practice of training camp on Thursday, and it was much different than Wednesday's opening session. For starters, there were no puppies on the field, which was slightly disappointing after Wednesday's incredibly adorable Pet Adoption Day in Foxboro.

An efficient Drake Maye, a slimmer Christian Barmore, and an absent Ja'Lynn Polk were among the top storylines from Day 2.
