Due to power outages that have affected Gillette Stadium, the New England Patriots moved offsite on Monday, and canceled their media availability.

The outages also led to the cancellation of coach Bill Belichick's media conference call on Sunday, though that is slated to be made up on Monday afternoon.

The Patriots had off on Sunday, after Saturday's 34-10 loss to the Lions in Detroit. They conclude the preseason vs. the New York Giants on Thursday night at home.
