Wide receiver Jalen Hurd’s career as a Patriot lasted all of a week as the 2019 third round pick of the San Francisco 49ers was placed on the reserved/retired list by the Patriots. With Hurd’s retirement, that opened up a roster spot and the Patriots used that spot to claim undrafted rookie wide receiver Thyrick Pitts from Delaware. Pitts was released by the Bears recently.

Still a pretty good size, but I wonder if the whole Monday thing just kept some people way that are able to attend various days late…

The diminutive sixth round draft choice out of Liberty has caught people’s attention through four camp practices and has made the most of his opportunities thus far. “Pop” as he is called has impressed both as a receiver and as a return man.

After a day off on Saturday, the Patriots officially wrapped up their first week of training camp with a Sunday afternoon practice.
