FILE - New England Patriots offensive lineman Cole Strange (50) takes part in drills with offensive lineman Trent Brown, left, at the NFL football team's practice facility in Foxborough, Mass., on May 23, 2022. After a seven-game win streak late in 2021, the Patriots saw a quick end to their season in the wild-card round.

Defense is also in the spotlight entering training camp as the Patriots look to replace cornerback J.C. Jackson, who left in free agency. (AP Photo/Steven Senne, File)
