#12 is at OTAs today
Again.....get this straight. OTAs are organized practices, directed by the coaching staff. Each team is allowed only 14 OTAs plus 3 days of mini camp.
The Pats OTA's and mini camp are usually held in late May or early June. That's so that the draft choices can participate too. All that they're doing down there now is lifting weights, and running.
Having your starting quarterback miss the first week of OTAs would be a big deal. Missing weight lifting is not. They have weights in California and Brazil that Tom can lift.
