Patriots training camp kicked up a notch on Monday, as the team put pads on for the first time this summer. One player returned from an injury, while another left the field.

The first padded practice of this training camp was an unexpectedly eventful one, as cornerback Christian Gonzalez left the field early after suffering an apparent lower body injury. With Carlton Davis already out, the Patriots’ cornerback depth took an early hit.

FOXBORO – “Real football” started Monday when the Patriots strapped on the pads for the fifth day of training camp.
