Matthew Judon

ESPN’s Mike Reiss says Matt Judon is expected to return to Patriots camp and participate in practice on Thursday.

Judon is seeking a new or reworked contract from the Patriots and did not practice with the team on Monday or Tuesday. Head coach Jerod Mayo said he and Judon had a “great meeting” recently and that both sides are “moving forward,” with Judon expected to re-join the team on Thursday. We don’t yet know if Judon and the Patriots have reached an agreement on a new/revised deal, but we’d expect that something is in the works if he takes to the field on Thursday.
