Patch takes you inside Gillette Stadium and the Patriots locker room.
Bill Belichick took the podium inside the media room at Gillette Stadium Wednesday morning to talk about his plans for the bye week as well as what he said to his rookie players before they head out for a few well deserved days off. "Bye week, practiced yesterday, practice today, see if we can improve in a few areas, then give the players an opportunity to get some rest, relax a little bit, get a way from Football for a couple days, then come back and get ready to go against the Steelers," spoke Belichick. "Hopefully we can take advantage of those couple days to catch up on some things that have piled up on all of us." When asked what his major plans were personally during the days off, Belichick smiled and said simply, "get some rest, …

An on the field report from Foxborough. The Patriots take the field for the first time in 2011, all while adding two marquee names off the field.
The stands and grass surrounding Gillette Stadium were filled with anxious and excited fans Thursday morning. Day one, practice one of the 2011 Open Training Camp was full of cheers, and meanwhile, off the field, the Patriots welcomed two new additions to the team. The first announcement came in the morning. The Patriots acquired via trade, Pro Bowl Defensive Tackle Albert Hayneswoth from the Washington Redskins for a 2013 5th round draft pick. While the deal is not finalized yet, Haynesworth must first pass a physical conditioning test, something he has failed in the past.

In U.S. for his medical care, the young Haitian soccer fan meets a sports hero touring Gillette Stadium, and finds a home away from home.

The massive tumor disfiguring his face engulfs his upper lip, left eye and cheek, and cruelly twists his nose to the right side of his face. What is certain, however, is that at the time the picture was taken, in his remote, desperately impoverished corner of Haiti, the boy - Junior Jean Louis - couldn't have known that in just a few years' time he would be in the United States, happily touring Gillette Stadium with a professional soccer player, and that the majority of his tumor would be gone.
