Patriots Today - Holdover WRs, Patriot Place

[0:00]" We're talking wide outs still -- check update us on three. Crystal balls no. Everyone and welcome to patriots today I'm Brian Lowe at patriots training camp it's Thursday the patriots during the seventh day of camp another day of two days and the biggest story on its steamy Thursday in Foxborough. Is that Randy Moss is not on the field. He was the shortest training camp session today and it was heavy on special teams. But the absence of number 81 was certainly noticeable moss was unable to finish the -- Wednesday evening session due to a leg injury he had his thigh wrapped up at one point and left the field early. After Thursday morning practice and head coach Bill Belichick said moss is day to day yeah. I think we take everybody's physical conditioning and don't count -- week. Practice at a firm -- okay. That includes everything from its scheduled tonight and it was it was where the team this and what to do it individual player baseball -- medical people look for work so well we'll. Morris was too far from. While it's unknown if moss will miss Friday's practice wide outs Donte' Stallworth Troy brown and Chad Jackson remain on PUP. And there are only appearances at camp came in a Sunday walk through inside the Dana Farber field house. For more on the wide receiver position -- Kristina Akra."

[1:53]" Thanks Brian -- the biggest buzzer on treat -- this season is the addition of so many new prominent players. It just so happens that the majority of them are white receivers. But up it doesn't matter up for the white out competition. Two had a chance last year to prove what they can do with the patriots offense the quarterback Tom Brady when it comes to game time. Jabar Gaffney and Reche Caldwell say it's pulling teeth and and they are enjoying the."

[2:16]" Competition I think it comes to the White House position this season compared to last it's a whole new ballgame. -- twelve receivers and the running you have to six spots to fill one question that comes to mind for veterans Caldwell Gaffney and how much weight as the holder of the label care. Coach bill belichick's response includes the 120 something practices. And two point three games to receiver experience last season."

[2:45]" And didn't have those practices of these games there's no way to keep this rule situations. Although -- all the things that the those players sponsor."

[2:54]" Belichick's Expos Caldwell and Gaffney have a natural advantage over the newcomers. To go along with a great offseason in start to can't."

[3:02]" had a real good all season and girls are better off season this year than he had last year he was able to do want an anonymous or lose them starting at a much higher point. Nothing gets better -- it was a -- DC showed open he's made plays out there every day."

[3:21]" well they did last year's regular season as the team's top receiver. With a career high 61 receptions for 760 receiving yards Gaffney. University of Florida to join the patriots last time. It's successful run -- the team's leading receiver in the post season but despite it being an age of -- being called we'll say everyone's on the same playing field. And it's all about the president."

[3:45]" Canada's got rid of the season they're -- and they also lets hope we saw an old person. The bus moved you know rose competing again -- pursuit of the -- to build a whole New Year and no real lot of different. Divorced after a lot of moves don't know. If you look at the things the guys who best to have that role given that well it's going to -- this is you do floor work what are what are still love to do this. According to Belichick to win the race for receiving -- You gotta be."

[4:18]" Hard for the middle of Tuesday's. Got a long way to go is that we can start seeing who can come out performance and produce day after day -- and a difficult environment which is what weren't. For Gaffney -- difficult environment is -- good influence he's ready for the competition."

[4:35]" You know I'm competitive those -- include never primary content from. If you won't be one of their she got a limo this thing got a lot of good guys -- hope like -- just keep working and stay in the midst."

[4:48]" As for Caldwell. He's enjoying being around his team."

[4:53]" He all the move guys most of his progress they know there's a lot of the."

[5:00]" Okay thanks Christina well another wide receiver battling for a spot this training camp is Kelley Washington. He doesn't have exactly the experience in the patriots system like Gaffney or Caldwell Yeltsin didn't come to town with nearly as much fanfare as some of the other patriots offseason acquisitions but nonetheless Washington is fighting hard to make his presence felt this summer."

[5:21]" Do agreed effort. Just go out every every day a little work it's on the -- who."

[5:27]" The six foot three inch Washington was surrounded by top notch talent in Cincinnati the last four years during which he called. Touchdown passes with a flat. Last two seasons being cut short by injury. You're doing when it's too early to tell whether or not Washington -- come September he's been on the field contributing consistently for the first week of camp. Which is certainly positive. There's a lot of a lot of players it's been up. -- it's -- postal workers and Lakeland it's very it's critical of his mother. Everybody can contribute."

[6:06]" Robert and Jonathan Kraft. -- Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick Thursday for a sneak peak construction of the new bass pro shops outdoor world Jason to Gillette stadium. Bass pro shops will be one of the marquis tenants of patriot place a lifestyle and entertainment center with the first day's scheduled to open this fall."

[6:24]" We're not real estate developers and started talking to people all over the country about what we do. To open mixed use development it would truly be unique and special. And draw people from wives radius and strict constantly kept coming back to us. What if you could ever did bass pro bass pro shops to come up.
