It begins today.
NASHVILLE -- It's a beautiful day here, with clear skies and temperatures projected to remain in 70s throughout the afternoon. The Pats lucked out here because it was quite humid, with temperatures touching the 90s Saturday.
Running back Shane Vereen (foot) was ruled out of action Friday afternoon, and rookie cornerback Alfonzo Dennard (hamstring) and offensive lineman Nick McDonald (shoulder) were downgraded to out Saturday evening.
