Patriots have a fun day at camp

Attention, Eagles (Lane Johnson in particular): Playing for the Patriots apparently isn't the sentence in purgatory you've been proclaiming:

For the second time this week, some feelgood fun at the end of Pats practice as the first defense tried twice to punch it in again at first offense. Both passes incomplete. Smiles all around

From the Are They Even Having Fun? files: Patriots finished practice with two reps of defensive players playing offense and offensive players playing defense.

Harmon had a pass broken up by Hogan. Chung's pass to Rowe fell incomplete. Safety Tom Brady...fired up.

Other quick notes from camp: Look who came to visit:

(Does this mean there's a new contract for Gronk in the air? Just speculating . . . )

And as for on-the-field happenings:

Cordarrelle Patterson's strong camp continues. Made the catch of the day by snaring a back-shoulder throw one-handed in one-on-one work against Jason McCourty.

Patterson also caught a deep touchdown from Brian Hoyer near the end of the practice, running by deep safety Jordan Richards to create some separation. Plenty of emotion after the catch.

More camp coverage coming in a bit.
