After four open OTA practices here’s what we’ll be watching for as the Patriots take the field for mandatory minicamp on Monday.

The Patriots took the field for their penultimate OTA practice Tuesday, looking to find some things out about their offense.

Elsewhere on a trying offensive day, Jacoby Brissett took several sacks, young corners caused disruption in the secondary, the defense dominated in the red zone and a young receiver missed practice after stretching.

FOXBORO -- Patriots rookie Drake Maye seemingly still hasn't ascended over Jacoby Brissett or Bailey Zappe on the quarterback depth chart through a week of organized team activities practices, but he's still putting in the work early in his NFL career. While Brissett and Zappe met with reporters at podiums on the side of the Patriots' practice field, Maye and rookie wide receivers Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker spent extra time after practice continuing to throw and catch, sneaking in extra reps after a two-hour-long practice.

The initial stages of a Green Bay-style rebuild involve are quite the opposite: young players and growing pains. Director of scouting Eliot Wolf, an ex-Packers executive, declared back in February that under his leadership, and new head coach Jerod Mayo, the Patriots are headed for a youth movement.
