FOXBORO -- As Bill Belichick said Monday morning: "Today is really our first big full day on Tennessee."
The Patriots went out to practice in shorts and shells. RB Shane Vereen and TE Visanthe Shiancoe were missing for the second straight day. S Steve Gregory and RB Danny Woodhead returned after missing Sunday's session. Otherwise, S Pat Chung was still wearing a red no-contact jersey, and OL Nick McDonald was still sidelined in shorts.
