2026 Patriots training camp: Kicker Andy Borregales answers skinny-post challenge from coaches with "bounce-back" day .. Via @MikeReiss on X

What happened: Coaches tested Andy Borregales on skinny goalposts during Saturday's training-camp session. Romeo Doubs made three touchdown catches.

Why it matters: The performance gives Borregales an immediate response after a 2-for-5 preseason outing. Doubs' scoring production provides another marker as New England evaluates its offense before the 2026 season.

By the numbers: Borregales made all six attempts from 32 to 47 yards.

What to watch: The next test is whether Borregales carries that consistency into preseason action. Gonzalez's practice status also bears watching.
