Here’s our Dudes and Duds from a fairly entertaining night in Foxborough… DUDES Tommy DeVito The darling of training camp so far didn’t set the world on fire, but did have a good night, playing…

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…
