The Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks isn’t until next Sunday, but that doesn’t mean the team will enjoy some downtime before then. For example, the Patriots will hit the practice field twice before flying to California.
The team released their preliminary schedule leading up to travel day, which gives us a roadmap for the coming days.

Patriots players are enjoying a few days away from the practice field after flying back from Denver on Monday. Still, the team will release its first injury report before the Super Bowl on Wednesday afternoon. This will be a projection, but it will give us a first look at some of the issues that need to be addressed before the game, specifically regarding quarterback Derek Meyer (shoulder) and linebacker Robert Spillane (ankle).

The Patriots will not open their doors to the media on Saturday and will not release any reports from practice. That doesn’t mean players will no longer travel to the facility for training, treatment or film study.

Next week’s extra schedule has not been officially confirmed, but we can assume the Patriots will follow their traditional season pattern. After the bye, that means practice on Monday, then the traditional three days of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and finally a walkthrough on Saturday.
Super Bowl LX will kick off on Sunday, February 8 at 6:30 pm ET.
