Twenty-one-year-old Fraser Minten didn’t just make the Bruins out of training camp. He’s earned the trust of Marco Sturm to the point that Boston has been able to retool their middle-six. "That's a good sign." www.masslive.com/bruins/2025/...

"He’s got a way about him that, despite the size of him, is not intimidating. It’s just demanding." Now in Boston's front office, Zdeno Chara is continuing to evolve at 48 years old, and the Bruins are thrilled to have him back at TD Garden: www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

"I’ve always wanted to speak on that." After beating Josh Allen in Buffalo, Stefon Diggs wanted to clear the air about the viral photo of the two of them from Houston last season: www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

Playing Josh Allen: "It’s really like — that’s real football." Playing on SNF: "It’s about to be a movie." Carlton Davis is very excited for Sunday's game in Buffalo: www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

Hunter Henry has 15 catches for 205 yards and 3 TDs this season, but his impact extends beyond the box score, too. Josh McDaniels called the Patriots captain "irreplaceable." Here's how Henry's leadership has shown up on the field and after the whistle: www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

Jeremy Springer says Jack Gibbens is "extremely smart" to the point that he could probably be a special teams coordinator right now.

Though Jack Gibbens has multiple college degrees, the Patriots linebacker never attended medical school. That didn’t stop Mike Vrabel from dubbing him “Dr. Gibby.” Here's more on the savvy LB that New England is growing increasingly reliant on: www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

"Go out there and be my 5-year-old self... have that joy of just being back on the field." After a two-month absence, Christian Gonzalez was focused on the thrill of playing football again, not the time he'd spent stuck on the sideline: www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

Stefon Diggs had a breakout performance in Sunday's blowout, catching 6 passes for 101 yards. So what's his comfort level in the Patriots offense these days? “Five out of 10.” Diggs explains: www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

Terrell Williams has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and begun treatment, according to Mike Vrabel. “You know how much Terrell means to me personally and to the people on this football team... he’s been through a lot and we care about him.” www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

Here's what Fraser Minten is hoping to show Marco Strum and the Bruins coaching staff as he strives for an NHL roster spot at training camp: www.masslive.com/bruins/2025/...

As the Bruins seek to add more scoring depth, Don Sweeney took a flyer on Matěj Blümel this summer. So what is Boston getting in the AHL goal-scoring leader? Blümel's former teammate, David Pastrnak, offers a scouting report on the Czech winger: www.masslive.com/bruins/2025/...

"I wouldn’t be too worried about it." Though tendinitis in his knee sidelined David Pastrnak to start camp, the Bruins winger said it's something he played through all last season and doesn't believe the nagging injury is too concerning. Details: www.masslive.com/bruins/2025/...

David Pastrnak is back at practice with his Bruins teammates. Sidelined with tendinitis to start camp, Pastrnak is skating with Group B on Monday morning, which includes linemates Morgan Geekie and Elias Lindholm. www.masslive.com/bruins/2025/...

Jabrill Peppers wasn't expecting to be cut by the Patriots in August, gauging his level of surprise as an 8/10. The Steelers safety is happy to be flying around a secondary again though and harbors no ill will. “No hard feelings, baby. It’s business.” www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

Patriots legend Rodney Harrison has a uniquely informed perspective on the information Tom Brady is privy to at Fox. Harrison doesn't think it's fair. And it goes beyond just game day. "The average fan has no idea the type of information we’re getting." www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

Though Efton Chism III made the 53-man roster out of training camp, he has yet to be active on game day for the Patriots. So what has the UDFA been working on behind the scenes? Wide receivers coach Todd Downing was able to shed some light on that: www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

After being "the highest targeted player in all of training camp," Pop Douglas hasn't seen the ball much on Sundays. Patriots coaches are pleased with his unselfishness. "Hasn't batted an eye... attitude and his contagious energy has stayed the same." www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

“We gave up one of the greatest plays I’ve been a part of in my NFL history.” There's one Patriots highlight that Aaron Rodgers quietly enjoyed as a visitor at Gillette Stadium: Dan Connolly's 71-yard kickoff return on SNF: www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

Final stats for Drake Maye: 19-for-23, 230 yards, 2 TDs. 10 rushes, 31 yards, TD. Zero turnovers. Pretty easily his best performance to date. Encouraging given the entire week of plate talk that preceded it.

Fascinating insight from Tom Brady here. www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

Harold Landry III was a menace in his Patriots debut. Here's why the veteran's dominant performance wasn't a surprise to the coaching staff: www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

"I can do a better job." After the Patriots scored 13 points in a Week 1 loss, offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels identified one area in particular where he believes he can improve: www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

Super nerdy clock management, but idk why Harbaugh used that last TO at 32 secs. If he uses it at like 15-20 secs, he's getting the ball back because BUF is caught in no man's land. Or if he just lets it run, BUF is probably surprised and has to go fire drill with new kicker.

Started the week covering Bill Belichick’s college team in North Carolina and ended it with Tom Brady’s team beating the Patriots in Foxborough. Strange days.

“It’s a security blanket. You just have confidence knowing you can get to the ball to someone who is proven in this league. I think Diggs does a good job going out there and proving to Drake every day that he should have confidence in him.” www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

Where has Drake Maye improved the most since the new coaching staff arrived? Patriots QB coach Ashton Grant answers: www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

“You can just tell he has that same Italian swagger. He comes in and he’s a Jersey kid for sure.” He hasn't been in Foxborough for long, but Tommy DeVito is already a welcome addition to the Patriots QB room: www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

From pregame pyrotechnics to a bizarre postgame balloon display, Bill Belichick was greeted like a conquering hero in Chapel Hill. Monday night wasn’t a coronation however, but a reminder that Belichick has a long way to go to conquer the college game. www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

Happy Labor Day from Chapel Hill.

Drake Maye spoke glowingly about WR Efton Chism III on WEEI this afternoon. Said he also jokes that the rookie is always working on his body in the treatment room: “I’m like, ‘Good gosh, you’re the No. 1 treatment guy.’ But hey, that stuff matters.” www.masslive.com/patriots/202...
