Elsewhere at practice Tuesday, Christian Gonzalez starred, DeMario Douglas out-shined all the wideouts, a rising pass rusher nabbed his second sack in as many days and a rookie maintained his lead in a major position battle.

The No. 15 pick of the 2021 NFL Draft had a promising start to his career in New England. The Patriots’ starter in Week 1, Jones had a strong rookie campaign that ended in a Pro Bowl appearance. In 2022, there was a decline under Matt Patricia. Meanwhile, 2023 was a disaster as he fell out of favor under Bill Belichick.

According to a team release, the Patriots have placed Schweitzer on their reserve/retirement list, effectively signaling his retirement from the NFL after eight years. New England had signed him earlier in March as an unrestricted free agent.

Eight-year veteran Wes Schweitzer decides to retire just three months after joining Patriots' offensive line in 2025 free agency.

FOXBORO — Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is ready to be a full participant in practice whenever the team will allow it. Diggs, who tore his ACL in late October, has been limited in spring practices, participating in individual drills and the walk-through portion but sitting out of full-speed 11-on-11s.

Drake Maye will be the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots next season. That much we know. But who will be his backup? And how many signal-callers

The defensive end, who made it clear at the end of the 2024 season he was unhappy with the general direction of the team, sounds excited the franchise swapped out Jerod Mayo and added Mike Vrabel as the head coach. “Now, I feel like I have a coach,” White said after Tuesday’s minicamp session inside the Dana Farber Field House.

The New England Patriots held their second and final practice of mandatory minicamp on Tuesday with rainy conditions moving things inside the WIN Waste Innovations Field House. The team was once again not in full pads and there was no live contact either.
