Pats Workout Updates

The Patriots just completed a brisk, if not sloppy, hour and a half practice. It is the team's only public workout of the day. They'll hold a closed practice later in the day.
Running back Kevin Faulk wore a red jersey, indicating no one was allowed to hit him. Faulk said he's just a bit sore after Saturday night's game against Atlanta.

Some of the key players not present included receiver Chad Jackson; safety Rodney Harrison, DT Richard Seymour, running back Patrick Pass; center Dan Koppen; OT Nick Kaczur; outside linebacker Chad Brown.

The highlight of the practice actually came with the arrival of rocker Jon Bon Jovi at around 10 o'clock. Bon Jovi is a big football fan and a longtime friend of Bill Belichick. The head coach instantly left a drill to welcome Bon Jovi and stayed with him for about 5 minutes while the practice continued. Owner Bob Kraft also came by to chat Bon Jovi up.
Kraft and Bon Jovi had one thing in common. They were the only men on the field in long pants. Kraft wore white slacks while JBJ sweated in blue jeans.
