Welcome to Charlotte

Hey all --

We have settled in at Bank of America Stadium, where they somehow manage to keep the place intimate despite a capacity of over 73,000.

Not surprisingly, the first player out on the field was rookie quarterback Matt Gutierrez, who is playing catch with receiver Chris Dunlap.

That pair were closely followed by long snapper Lonie Paxton, who is snapping the ball over 25 yards right now.

In what can be seen as nothing but a good sign -- especially since he's been about invisible since camp started -- tight end David Thomas is doing some agility drills on the field, slide steps and stretches and running.

Laurence Maroney is in cleats and chatting up Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams, who like Maroney is a second-year back.

Eric Alexander, who like Maroney shed his red non-contact jersey just this week, is in uniform pants and jogging, so he's clearly getting ready to go

Reserve defensive lineman Santonio Thomas is basically chilling, sitting and listening to his headphones on one of the Pats' benches.

We'll have more shortly.
