5 performances of note from the Patriots’ second training camp practice - Pats Pulpit

What the report says

Pats Pulpit reported that the New England Patriots’ pass defense was the main takeaway from the team’s second training camp practice of the summer on Sunday morning, July 26, 2026. According to Brian Hines and Bernd Buchmasser, attendance was strong, conditions were favorable and the defense produced several notable plays during a busy session.

The outlet highlighted the secondary and pass rush collectively rather than singling out one defender. Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis were credited with close coverage and pass breakups, John Saunders Jr. broke up a deep throw from Behren Morton, and Milton Williams deflected a Drake Maye pass at the line. The most prominent play was described as the first interception of camp, with Craig Woodson catching a deflected Maye throw intended for A.J. Brown on a deep crossing route.

Pats Pulpit also noted several individual performances. Morton, working as the third quarterback, completed five of six passes in team drills and appeared composed in limited action. Undrafted receiver Nick DeGennaro was described as an active target with the third-team offense. Rookie free-agent tight end Tanner Arkin received first-team work as a blocker, lined up at fullback with Reggie Gilliam absent, and also practiced long-snapping.

On special teams, kicker Andy Borregales made all six of his field-goal attempts from roughly 30 to 50 yards after not kicking in the previous practice. The report framed these observations as early-camp indicators, with full-pads practices still needed to better evaluate roster battles and player roles.
