FOXBORO, Mass. – After a big practice on Monday, Bill Belichick explained that Tuesday's open OTAs session was going to be toned down, and with that many key players were missing, specifically from one position. 

Most of the top-tier receivers were not in attendance, despite Belichick claiming that one was "here."

Juju Smith-Schuster did not attend last weeks OTAs session, and it seemed unlikely that he would be there on Tuesday. Although Belichick did seem to imply that Smith-Schuster was on the field in his press conference prior to practice, the receiver was just one of many missing. 

Smith-Schuster's absence seems to relate to his visit to the White House on Monday with the Kansas City Chiefs due to their recent Super Bowl victory. 

Along with Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton and Kendrick Bourne were not in attendance, while DeVante Parker remained limited. 

Here is a full list of the absences from OTAs:

6. Nick Folk (K)

7. Juju Smith-Schuster (WR)

9. Matthew Judon (LB)

11. Tyquan Thornton (WR)

71. Mike Onwenu (OL)

75. Conor McDermott (OL)

77. Trent Brown (OL)

84. Kendrick Bourne (WR)

Here are the players that were limited:
