FOXBORO — The Patriots went at it in the heat and full pads for the second consecutive day Saturday.

Our Day 9 edition of Stock Watch has the details on which players thrived (and which didn’t) in their latest on-the-field workout.

Stock Up

Hunter Henry, tight end

One of the most impressive completions of this training camp came early Saturday. Jacoby Brissett dropped back and found Hunter Henry for a twisting, one-handed grab along the sideline over 20 yards away in an 11-on-11 period.

Unfortunately for the offense, the play was brought back due to a “sack.” But that particular connection was on display throughout the practice.

One play before Henry’s highlight-reel-quality snag, Brissett hit him with an on-time and accurate over route for chunk gain. Brissett also threw to Henry twice with the clock ticking down on them in a two-minute drill. The second went for a last-second touchdown. With no timeouts and time running, Brissett snapped the football just before the clock hit zeros and floated one to a diving Henry for a score.

He’s clearly one of Brissett’s most trusted options.

K.J. Osborn, wide receiver

Osborn wasn’t far behind Henry in terms of trusted options for Brissett on Day 9.

In 7-on-7 work, Brissett threw to him twice in the span of five throws, the second coming before Osborn was out of his break in the front right corner of the end zone. The pass was a touch behind Osborn, but he reached back and secured it as he fell out of bounds for a completion.

Brissett also hit Osborn for an explosive gain deep down the field with Alex Austin in tight coverage to kick-start their successful two-minute period at the end of practice.

Dell Pettus, safety

Every so often in our Stock Watch column, we get an opportunity to laud an unheralded player trying to work his way up the roster. Showing up in a positive manner in that regard on Saturday? Pettus, who arrived…
