Practice No. 13: Texans joint practice

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — Good morning from the Greenbrier Valley, where the Patriots are on the field warming up for their practice with the Texans.

We'll give you all the detail we can. Let's get going:



CB Cyrus Jones hasn't been cut yet. He's on the field.

Don't see: WR Matthew Slater, DB David Jones, RB Mike Gillislee, LB Dont'a Hightower, LB Shea McClellin, OT Tony Garcia, OL Andrew Jelks, OT Nate Solder, TE Matt Lengel, DE Deatrich Wise. Red jerseys: Damarius Travis, Cody Hollister.

LB Elandon Roberts, who left the Jaguars game with an injury, is back on the field. TE James O'Shaughnessy appears to be ready to practice.

Eric Rowe started over Stephon Gilmore at RCB.

Tom Brady was 3-of-3 in the first team period, although he would have been sacked by JJ Watt, who had beaten Joe Thuney on one throw.

Jimmy Garoppolo hooked up with Malcolm Mitchell on a bomb down the left sideline. Mitchell made a great catch.

Geneo Grissom stood out in one-on-ones, winning three matches.

Saw Cam Fleming get pushed back like he was on skates.

Nate Ebner and LeShaun Daniels were both planted into the turf during a one-on-one blocking drill.

LaAdrian Waddle was beaten by consecutive sacks by JJ Watt and Whitney Mercilus. Waddle got benched for Fleming.

Patriots' offense is having a tough time against a good Texans defense. Brady is now really barking at his teammates.

Pretty tear drop TD against tough coverage from Brady to Julian Edelman.

Two minute drill: First play about 60 yards from Brady to Chris Hogan. Beat the corner and safety. Pretty.

Just a heads up, but the Texans' media policy is more restrictive than the Patriots. We'll try to do what we can.
