1. 3 Thoughts Following Patriots Preseason Week 2 (patch.com) — Patriots fans in Foxborough saw a 24–21 preseason win over the Eagles at a packed Gillette Stadium, even as top starters sat again by coach Mike Vrabel's design. An in-game injury to punter Bryce Baringer forced emergency punting duties for third-string quarterback Behren Morton and led to signing veteran Matt Haack, while young receivers Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III boosted their roster chances amid a trade reshaping the depth chart.
   

2. Kraft Group fined more than $23K after Usher/Chris Brown show goes past curfew (boston.com) — Foxborough officials have fined Kraft Sports & Entertainment nearly $23,000 after last week's Usher and Chris Brown concert at Gillette Stadium ran 25 minutes past the town's weekday curfew. The penalty, calculated per attendee, is among the largest recent fines and comes amid an ongoing legal dispute over nearly $1 million in annual administrative fees tied to the stadium's entertainment license.
