          The New England Patriots will open training camp with four straight morning practices, as the schedule for the initial days is now official.

          Thursday, July 30: 9:15-11:45 a.m. ET

          Friday, July 31: 9:15-11:45 a.m. ET

          Saturday, Aug. 1: 9:15-11:45 a.m. ET

          Sunday, Aug. 2: 9:15-11:45 a.m. ET

          Also, the Patriots also re-signed undrafted rookie free-agent receiver Zach D'Orazio on Thursday. D'Orazio, of Akron, had been with the club from May 26 to June 11 before his release.

          D'Orazio fills the final spot on the 90-man roster and adds another layer of depth at the receiver spot.
