OTA

The New England Patriots received a visit from a rather unlikely guest at their voluntary organized team activity session on Wednesday.

The New England Patriots took the field today, as they kicked off "phase 3" of their organized team activities regimen this offseason, with two of their star players noticeably absent.

The New England Patriots opened up mandatory minicamp Tuesday and, while he was not present for the team's voluntary organized team activities back in May, cornerback and Super Bowl XLIX hero Malcolm Butler was back on the field with his teammates.
