Patriots enjoy exemplary attendance on first day of voluntary offseason workouts

by

The New England Patriots are back in Foxborough for their 2026 offseason workout program. On Monday, the first session took place at their brand-new training facility and enjoyed some exemplary attendance.

Given the limited information available, a full roll call is not possible. However, material shared by the Patriots on their website and social media channels indicates that at least 62 players checked into Gillette Stadium for Monday’s voluntary workout. The actual number might be even higher, meaning that a significant portion of the 71 currently-rostered men was present.

Among the participants on Day 1 were the usual suspects such as quarterback Drake Maye, tight end Hunter Henry, edge Harold Landry and linebacker Robert Spillane. Also present were cornerback Christian Gonzalez and fullback Jack Westover; the former is still in talks about a longterm contract extension with the team, while the latter participated despite not yet having officially signed his exclusive rights tender, a move that very much is a formality at this point.

All in all, the group accounted for includes most of the Patriots’ starters, team leaders and free agency signings. Here they are listed by position:

Not among the players spotted is wide receiver Kayshon Boutte, who is the subject of trade rumors for a second straight offseason. Boutte shared a photo on social media on Monday of him supposedly being on a beach in Miami.

The initial phase of offseason workouts runs for two weeks and is being led by Patriots director of sports performance Frank Piraino as well as strength and conditioning coaches Deron Mayo, Brandon Martuccio and Brian McDonough. The focus at this point in the process lies exclusively on strength and conditioning work.

After Phase 1 is over, the Patriots will gradually build up toward their mandatory minicamp, which will conclude their offseason program in mid-June. The team announced its full offseason workout schedule earlier this month.
