Maye and the first-team offense avoided their normal slow start and looked precise from the get-go in this practice, which featured sessions of first downs, second and third downs, and a two-minute drill.
Giardi: Should the Patriots be concerned about their ground game? Plus, confidence in Pop paying dividends
Had McDaniels loved where they were, he would have said so. But there was also no panic. He has seen too much, over too many years, to start deciding the offense can do this but can’t do that.

A lengthy rain delay only prolonged what had already become a miserable Sunday afternoon for the Red Sox.Patrick Sandoval was knocked around early, the offense remained stuck in its recent funk and Boston sat through a delay of more than two and a half hours before the Pirates finished off an 8-3 win at PNC Park.
Bedard: Patriots Roster Road to 53, v. 26.04 - Taking stock after first preseason game, before Eagles

MLB Notebook: Roman Anthony nearing Red Sox return; Joshua Baez makes history
As the Red Sox try to right the ship following a rough stretch in which they’ve gone 4-6 after running through baseball for more than a month, some much-needed offensive help is getting closer.Roman Anthony, Trevor Story and Isiah Kiner-Falefa are all set to begin rehab assignments over the next several days, giving the Red Sox additional options as they head toward the stretch run.
NBA Notebook: Mitchell Robinson's rebounding, Kevin Garnett's jersey, and Russell Westbrook's retirement
Possessions matter. For the Boston Celtics, they matter a lot. They are the foundation of everything the Celtics want to accomplish. At least, that was the case last season.
Red Sox ride Sonny Gray’s gem, Wilyer Abreu homer to 4-0 win
The Red Sox haven’t been scoring much lately, but Sonny Gray made sure they didn’t need to Saturday night.Gray delivered seven shutout innings and Wilyer Abreu supplied the only run Boston needed with another home run as the Red Sox blanked the Pirates, 4-0, at PNC Park.
Bedard: Patriots Practice Report 08.15.26 - Gonzalez next up for extension, RZ passing game a plus, Dre'Mont Jones injured
Witherspoon got his four-year extension on Saturday, and it's a whopper. Mike Florio from PFT has all the details. The headlines: $101.255 million guaranteed for injury. The four new years average $33 million per year. Average from signing (6 years): $26.38 million.
Giardi: Two receivers with totally different characteristics but both getting better results
Romeo Doubs has been a fixture with the first-team dating back to the spring, but the times when he looked like the player we saw on tape in Green Bay were few and far between. That is, until last week.

Red Sox fall behind early and never recover in 8-4 loss to Pirates
Boston fell behind by four runs through four innings and never fully recovered in an 8-4 loss at PNC Park, continuing a difficult road trip and an offensive funk that has followed the Red Sox since their nine-game winning streak came to an end.
Bedard's Breakdown: Patriots' top two rookies, Lomu and Jacas, struggle in debut
Let's just say the Patriots' top two draft picks, tackle Caleb Lomu and edge Gabe Jacas, didn't light the world on fire in their preseason debuts against the Colts. But it was far from a disaster for both of them, as you'll see in the film analysis below.
Haggerty: Steeves ready to rebound from last season's 'pain'
Nobody would blame Alex Steeves if he felt like he could relax just a little based on carving out an NHL roster spot for himself in Boston last season, getting into some Stanley Cup playoff games and ending it all with a stint as one of the best players on Team USA at the IIHF World Championships last spring.
Giardi: NFL Notebook - The road to 53, part 1; plus, a winner declared in Minnesota QB competition
With 14 training camp practices and the first preseason game, now is as good a time as any to unveil my first 53-man roster. Unlike the last handful of years, I didn’t find myself having to debate too many spots.

Payton Tolle dominates, Caleb Durbin delivers grand slam as Red Sox snap five-game skid
The Red Sox desperately needed someone to stop the bleeding Thursday afternoon.One start after overpowering the Athletics with a career-high 14 strikeouts, rookie Payton Tolle was the stopper the Red Sox needed Thursday, dominating in a completely different way with eight shutout innings.
FINAL: Patriots 13, Colts 13 - DeVito 12-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Williams; Borregales misses GW kick
I expect Tommy DeVito to start and play a little, but most of the game will be QB'd by Behren Morton. I don't expect many starters, especially the veterans, to play in this game. Colts coach Shane Steichen said QB Anthony Richardson will play the first half. Riley Leonard will get the second half. The Colts are also sitting a "slew" of starters. The newly installed turf is also worth watching.

Giardi: Mike's Musings on Henderson's vision, Maye's challenge and more
I think the running back pecking order is established. Rhamondre Stevenson is the between-the-tackles guy, and until proven otherwise, the most reliable back on passing downs.
