It will be their sixth session of training camp and a chance for players to build on the foundation laid through the ramp-up period and the first padded practice on Thursday.With that said, here is all you need to know about practice No. 6.ScheduleThe Patriots’ sixth practice of training camp will again take place on the fields behind Gillette Stadium. As usual, parking and attendance are free.10:15 a.m. ET: Practiceca. 12:15 p.m. ET: Player availability (QB Drake Maye, QB Tommy DeVito, RB Rhamondre Stevenson, WR Efton Chism III, LB Chad Muma, CB Charles Woods)As always, of course, the schedule is tentative and subject to change.
