New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is considering a joint practice in Florida with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers around the road preseason game with the Bucs Aug. 24. The reasoning might be conditioning-based, as the Patriots open the regular season Sept. 9 against the Tennessee Titans in Nashville. The game-time temperature in the Titans’ past three home openers have been 76 degrees (54 percent humidity), 77 degrees (45 percent humidity) and 77 degrees (83 percent humidity).
