Boutte had another touchdown, but it was whistled dead mid-play by Mike Vrabel. Boutte caught four passes today.

Completed Q&A: Simone on Celtics/NBA, 4:30 p.m. Tuesday 07.28.2026
Happy official offseason! We have now entered the true dead period of the Summer. No more Summer League. No more big trades (probably...). No more draft or free agency.
Giardi: Vrabel gives Brown the same treatment as always; plus, devil's in the detail and Old Man Moses back again
It didn’t take long for Mike Vrabel to put A.J. Brown in the crosshairs. Try day one, in fact.
Bedard: Patriots Practice Report 07.27.26 - Some early thoughts on the team as Pats slow it way down
After just two days with helmets on, the Patriots spent Monday going through a walkthrough without headwear — unless you count the numerous bucket hats, backward baseball caps, and a few pom-pom hats (it's July, Kayshon Boutte, not January).

NHL Notes: Eyssimont a forgotten man for the Bruins
The Bruins are still a good five weeks away from training camp and roughly two months away from the start of the NHL regular season, so there is still ample time for a lot of different things to happen. But it feels like there are most definitely some forgotten players mixed between the returning incumbents, the young players expected to make a move to the NHL this season and a Bruins team that clearly needs to upgrade in a number of areas coming off a playoff season.
MLB Notebook: Red Sox make first move, acquire Curtis Mead, Shea Langeliers injured, trade rumors swirl around baseball
The Red Sox officially kicked off their trade deadline by acquiring infielder Curtis Mead from the Nationals in exchange for left-handed pitcher Connelly Early.Boston entered deadline season as the hottest team in baseball and firmly in the American League Wild Card race.

Bedard: Patriots Practice Report 07.26.26 - Tough day for Maye, offense as defensive stars shine
The Patriots are far from running their normal multiple offense — it's all been outside zone runs and boots so far — so it's early days, but Sunday was not a good day for the offense and Drake Maye. The QB was just 6 of 12 and was picked off for the first time by Craig Woodson.

Giardi: Maye looking comfortable in his shoes; plus, how do teammates feel about Gonzalez?
That point, about doing something in this league, should no longer be a concern. Judging from the way I’ve observed Maye operate this spring and now on day one of training camp, he feels that way too.
Bedard: Patriots Practice Report 07.25.26 - Gonzalez a full participant on opening day as Jacas finally signs
A big topic of conversation this offseason has been about whether or not there'd be drama between the team and their top cornerback as he seeks a lucrative contract extension.

Bedard: Areas of concern and confidence with Patriots' new additions heading into camp
It seems like everyone, including myself, believes that the major additions — A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs, Dre'Mont Jones, Kevin Byard and Alijah Vera-Tucker — are surefire upgrades for the Patriots. The odds of that are more probable than not, considering they are all good professionals, and the Patriots' coaching staff showed a great ability last season at maximizing their talent relative to other coaching staffs. But let's make no mistake: none of these additions are surefire hits. There is a l...
