FOXBORO - A fierce rainstorm swept through here about an hour ago (no thunder) hitting just as the players were getting going with their stretching for the 5:30 p.m. practice. Fans scattered but the players stretched on while the coaches walked among them, unimpressed by the rain.
Two rainbows appeared when the rain stopped. And I left my sunroof open.
Troy Brown and Ben Watson were back for the afternoon practice (players were in shells). Matt Light was absent. So were all the other guys who are on the PUP list (scroll down to catch their names).
Bill Belichick spent a long time working with linebackers Monty Beisel and Eric Alexander on a block-shedding drill.
Special teams coach Brad Seely drilled his punt-rushers in getting off the ball low, taking seven steps and then putting their hands at waist-height to block the punt down.
Wide receiver John Stone continues to be the No. 3 wide receiver with Chad Jackson out and Deion Branch holding out.
