Patriots confirm date changes for mandatory minicamp

The New England Patriots have made a change to their offseason program schedule.

According to ESPN’s Mike Reiss, the Patriots moved their mandatory minicamp from June 15-17 to June 9-11, as head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed to media members on Tuesday.

The Patriots will hold their mandatory minicamp for veteran players, as stipulated in the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement. Physicals will be administered on June 8, before the team goes through on-field activities.

New England’s second practice of the minicamp will entail walkthroughs only. No live contact will be permitted throughout the three days of the mandatory camp.

The Patriots acquired superstar wide receiver A.J. Brown in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles on June 1, changing the complexion of their roster even further this spring. They will continue to get Brown and the team into shape once the mandatory minicamp takes place next week.
