FOXBOROUGH – Well, that was fun.

For just over two hours, the Patriots and Colts got after it in a productive, efficient joint practice out on the fields behind Gillette Stadium on Tuesday morning.

Christian González not participating was the biggest news of the day, while Mike Vrabel (unsurprisingly) also announced Drake Maye won’t play in the first preseason game on Thursday night. Presumably, a lot of guys won’t, which is why joint practices have suddenly taken on so much importance.

The action got going right from the very first 1-on-1 rep. Here’s everything that went down on Tuesday…

1-on-1’s

This was basically a highlight reel for the Patriots receivers. These are also rapid fire so while I didn’t get who threw every pass, the majority of these were from Drake Maye with some from Tommy DeVito…

-Maye comeback to AJ Brown after he put Sauce Garnder on the ground, drawing a huge gasp from the crowd.
-Maye to Pop for a sideline grab against Justin Walley.
-Maye to Hunter Henry after Henry burned a linebacker over the middle.
-Romeo Doubs drop over the middle.
-Kyle Williams torches a DB on a crosser for an easy catch.
-Quick out to Jack Westover (wide open).
-Crosser to Cameron Dorner.
-PBU for Indy DB over the middle against Reggie Gilliam, who tried to shake his defender late and couldn’t.
-Kyle Williams wide open over the middle after getting off the line quickly.
-Incompletion from Maye looking for Henry who got tied up a bit trying to get across the middle.
-Incompletion deep looking for Kayshon Boutte (overthrow by Maye).
-Easy crosser to Eli Raridon after beating his defender cleanly.
-Great little comeback route for Hunter Henry with Maye.
-Nice running grab by Boutte against Johnathan Edwards.
-Efton Chism III wide open over the middle.
-Incompletion to Raridon with Robert Carter Jr. in coverage for the Colts.
-Mack Hollins drops a slant.
-Great back shoulder throw from DeVito for Kobe Prentice.
-Another phenomenal back shoulder throw, this time from Maye to Doubs along the right sideline.
-Out to Pop Douglas (wide open again, virtually un-coverable throughout camp).
-Comeback to Hollins.
-Sick little move and a diving grab for Chism III running across the field. He continues to make it hard for the team to not keep him.
-Slant to Tejahun Palmer.
-Crosser to Prentice.
-Incomplete over the middle to Hollins (looked like he got tripped up).
-One last pretty back shoulder throw from Maye to Pop, who made a leaping grab against Walley.

Field goals

Andy Borregales went 5-7, continuing his well above average summer, although the consistency has wained a bit the last few practices.

Situational (2 minute) 

1;12 on the clock…

Maye: Back-to-back completions to Pop over the middle, scramble (timeout with 27 seconds left)…false start, quick gain to Chism III (ball down inside the red zone), Maye intercepted in the back of the end zone by Camryn Bynum on an under thrown ball for Boutte (it might have been Pop, to to see).

DeVito: 61-yard TD bomb to Hollins down the right sideline. Ball reset at the five and he hits Raridon for another easy TD. As Dell Pettus put it after practice, DeVito is in a ‘flow state’ right now.

Indy scored on its first two-minute drive, but John Saunders ended the day on a high note for the Pats with a tip-drill interception to close out the day.
