These claims were false, and the Defendant knew that they were false.”The indictment identified six individuals as co-conspirators in Trump’s effort to overturn the election, but none of those people were charged Tuesday.

Patriots training camp Day 7: Mac Jones’ best practice yet, a rising linebacker and more WR woes

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:14:48 GMT

FOXBORO — Mac Jones’ best practice of training camp started with a near pick.After hitting three straight completions to open a 7-on-7 period, Jones lofted his final throw near the right sideline where JuJu Smith-Schuster was supposed to finish his deep corner route. There was one problem.Young cornerback Marcus Jones had drifted backwards from his short zone drop to camp under the ball and intercept it. Recognizing the danger at hand, Smith-Schuster used his six-inch height advantage to break up the pass upon its arrival. Jones then retreated to the sideline – and leveled up.Jones finished his day going 7-of-10 in team drills, scoring two touchdowns in a final red-zone period versus Bill Belichick’s top defense. He weaponized tempo, audibles and his best trait – accuracy within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage – over the best showing by any quarterback this summer. None of Jones’ individual plays were true highlights, but training camp, particul...
