    Here's everything you need to know about the New England Patriots' updated minicamp schedule, plus new details on the Tom Brady ceremony.

    FOXBORO, Mass. — The New England Patriots were scheduled to hold three mandatory minicamp practices this week, but plans have changed.

    Ahead of Monday’s session, head coach Jerod Mayo announced that Tuesday’s practice would be canceled in favor of “something special” planned for players. We now know how the Patriots will spend their off day, and what the rest of their week will look like.

    Patriots Cancel Practice, Schedule ‘Community Day’

    On Tuesday, the Patriots will send groups of players, coaches, and staff members to four locations around Massachusetts to participate in community/charity events. All four events will run from 10 a.m. ET to noon.

    A group of players will visit Perkins Community Center/Lee School in Dorchester, Mass., to interact with students in sports, such as football and kickball, and various art activities. At the same time, a quarter of the team will visit Lila Fredericks Middle School in Boston for the school’s field day.
