FOXBORO — Carlton Davis is ready for some football. After Monday’s practice in Foxboro, the veteran cornerback sounded eager to walk off one field and straight into a game, expressing utmost optimism about the Patriots’ upcoming season. “It’s about to be lit, bro,” Davis said. “I’m excited for the city, for this team. We’ve been working hard. I’m just ready to go to war with these guys. I’m just excited about what we all can do on that field together.” Davis has been a regular at practice after missing most of the first two weeks of camp with an unspecified…

FOXBORO — It was four weeks to the day Monday that Patriots corrnerback Christian Gonzalez landed in a full-team period at practice and walked off the field with a left leg injury. So, how is Gonzalez progressing? “He’s working hard to get healthy, and I think that’s what I try to remind (media) all the time: that’ll be my stance on injuries,” Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said before practice. “That I’m confident that the player is working hard and that they’re doing what they’re asked to do, and once they, let’s say, recover from something that they’re working through, especially…
A former New England Patriots standout reportedly wants to leave his current team. Jakobi Meyers met with Las Vegas Raiders officials to request a trade, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero. The two sides unsuccessfully attempted to renegotiate the wide receiver’s contract. However, the Raiders reportedly do not plan to honor Meyers’ request. The Patriots signed Meyers as an undrafted free agent in 2019, and he quickly earned a roster spot that summer. Meyers led the Patriots in receiving three straight times from 2020 to 2022, amassing a career-high 83 catches in 2021. Despite his heavy involvement in…
While it feels like the bullpen on the Major League roster has a pretty large disparity between the high-leverage guys and the stinkers, Justin Slaten had another lockdown inning against Jacksonville (Marlins AAA) on an afternoon where not many Jumbo Shrimp looked too great. This game had some tension in the late going as three straight pitchers allowed a run, but, luckily, the WooSox had gotten off to a 7-0 lead and got some balls batted into the stands from their infielders: namely, Kristian Campbell and Mikey Romero. WAIT, not so fast on calling Kristian Campbell an infielder…. he was…
FOXBORO – Patriots veteran wide receiver Mack Hollins only knows one mode. Whether it’s a random practice in the dog days of training camp, a primetime game on “Sunday Night Football” or in the weight room, Hollins will be the loudest player talking the most trash. “I think it’s – I grew up with three boys in the house. You always were competing, and sometimes the loudest guy meant he won,” Hollins said. “But I expect the same thing from like, the defense. If they’re whooping our ass, I expect you to talk bad to me, because when I’m up,…
Minutes after the Patriots wrapped up their preseason finale last Thursday night, coach Mike Vrabel made headlines with an off-hand comment in his press conference. Before the game, the team had learned wide receiver Ja’Lynn Polk would undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, and a report about Polk’s status surfaced shortly before kickoff. When asked about the report post-game, Vrabel said he had nothing to add except this: “I don’t know; other than I’d like to find out where some of these (reports) come from. Some of these rats around here. We’ll figure that out.” On Monday, Vrabel clarified his comments with…
The Boston Red Sox weren’t able to complete their sweep of the New York Yankees on Sunday night, as they suffered a 7-2 defeat. However, they still won three of the four games in the series, and before their latest contest, manager Alex Cora provided a slew of encouraging injury updates. With their series victory over the Yanks, the Sox have taken control of the top spot in the American League wild card race. Their playoff push is only heating up, though, and some reinforcements down the stretch could help them hold onto this spot. Thankfully for the team, it…

FOXBORO — Of all the Patriots’ top receivers, Drake Maye has spent the least amount of time with Mack Hollins, a free-agent addition this spring who missed the first half of training camp with an injury. Hollins and Maye are trying to make up for lost time. In recent practices, Maye has made a habit of targeting Hollins on downfield throws and inside the red zone. Hollins also had grabs of 20 and 12 yards in their last preseason game together, a road win at Minnesota. After Sunday’s practice, Hollins credited time spent off the field to helping build their…
NEW YORK – The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees used to see a lot more of one another. Before the current Collective Bargaining Agreement ‘balanced’ the schedule starting in ‘23, divisional play comprised nearly 47% of a team’s season. Major League Baseball wanted all clubs to face off in at least once series per season, and cut into the divisional slates in order to accommodate. Now, instead of six series against each American League East rival, the Red Sox play only four. Has the reduction in divisional play impacted storied rivalries such as this one, or Dodgers/Giants, which…
