The 10th Patriots training camp practice ended with more highlights from N'Keal Harry and few notable injuries.
While Peyton Manning, Charles Woodson, and others were in Canton readying for their Hall of Fame induction, the New England Patriots were in the middle of yet another padded training camp practice Sunday in Foxborough in preparation for their first preseason game this Thursday.
In addition to preparing for their first preseason game, the Patriots and the rest of the NFL are approaching the first cutdown date when rosters have to shrink from 90-85 following the first week of the preseason.

Henry, Andrews Depart Practice
The harsh reality of football is that it is a physical game and injuries happen. Unfortunately for the Patriots, they caught a bit of the injury bug on Sunday with several notable players leaving the practice session. Both David Andrews and long-snapper Joe Cardona left practice due to a hand injury. Andrews was visibly frustrated before leaving and remaining on the sidelines for the remainder of practice. Tight end Jonnu Smith took a turn as the long snapper in Cardona's absence.
Speaking of tight ends, Hunter Henry also left practice due to a shoulder injury. Henry has remained relatively healthy the past two seasons after missing all of 2018 with an injury. As of now, the severity of the injury is unknown and will certainly be something to monitor as we get closer to Thursday's game with the Washington Football Team.
N'Keal Harry Continues To Stand Out
Free-agent signee Nelson Agholor was not present during Sunday's session which opened the door for N'Keal Harry to continue to build momentum during camp after requesting a trade two months ago. Harry showed off his athleticism on several occasions making a few back-shoulder grabs over tight coverage. However, the highlight of his day and perhaps the highlight of training camp to this point saw Harry beat Joejuan Williams and finish it off with a diving grab into the endzone on a pass from Cam Newton. Much to the enjoyment of the crowd.
What's Next?
The Patriots get right back to it on Monday with an afternoon session and will return Tuesday to Gillette for another in-stadium practice.
