with clarity. third-year back-up and former second round pick jimmy garoppolo will start the first four games of the season. >> i understand what everyone he has to do to look forward and have a little bit of clarity with that situation is obviously going to help. you know, our quarterback situation, the first four games and we know what it is. now we can prepare for it. >> reporter: the pats say it's going to be an adjustment without tom brady but can't let it affect their play. >> for us as a defense, you know, even greatest quarterback we don't go out there saying we only have to play oak because tom's here. we always want to play good football. >> reporter: and the patriots say find a way to win, no matter who's under center. >> jimmy works hard every day. if he's done something different, i haven't seen it. his preparation, the time he spends at it. cares deeply about getting better etch day. >> reporter: and jimmy g's continued development will be very much focused on the practice field as he prepares to make his first nfl start.

moment to play since he got in this league. he's worked for it. we believe in his talent and his abilities, and we know that he's going to go out and give us everything he has. >> now, it sounds like from offensive coordinator josh mcdaniels that brady and garoppolo will split the first team reps to start training camp but as we get closer to the season, it's going to be garoppolo working with the start efforts, which of course is extremely important as he must get that chemistry going with edelman, bennett and louis. live in foxboro, alex corddry, 7sports. still to come here this evening, it's case closed. >> why charges were dropped against the last three baltimore police officers charged in the death of freddie gray. and then ready for release, the man who shot president reagan will soon be a free man. >> coastline benefiting from a sea breeze today, but tomorrow no one escapes the heat. though, there is a cool-down on the way.

the heat wave rolls on for

you have to keep in mind that that observation site is out at logan, and so it's surrounded by the relatively cooler water. however, the sea breeze is quite significant. 18 miles per hour breeze coming out of the east. so it travels all the way back to the inside of 128. outside of that, though, we still have temperatures that are in the 90s. 93 in norwood currently. 82 in boston. on where you were. but that does break the heat wave. though, we'll get another hot day into tomorrow. quiet weather for us. mostly sunny skies. just to our north, though, a cool front wants to make its way in as we get into late tomorrow, there is a chance that that cool front sags some of these storms far enough south to bring us a chance for an isolated pop-up shower or storm into the later hours of tomorrow. but i think for the most part, we get partly cloudy skies throughout the day. most of us do stay dry tomorrow, with about a 10% chance for those showers and storms to form as we get into the later hours of the afternoon and evening.

and this looks to be a good shot at a good slug of rain. here's what's happening in the bigger picture. hot and humid as we move through tomorrow. cool front comes in to give us relief from the temperatures, and then we get this low-pressure system that forms, tries to ride along that front, and look at all of that green, even some yellows and oranges and reds that are popping up here in the area as we make it through the afternoon and evening on friday. and this could be as i mentioned, good rainfall. the drought will take a long time to make up for but an inch to maybe 2 inches of rainfall. i don't want to promise you the moon just yet but the potential is there, is what i'm saying. mostly clear overnight tonight. and tomorrow feels like the heat of summer is sticking around and then the temperatures cool as we get into the weekend. a wet day on friday, maybe not the best day to hit the beach or the links and on saturday a

before more scattered showers sunday, monday. >> and a new england patriot is on the road to rio while most of the patriots reported to gillette for training camp today, neil has his sights set on a gold this summer. >> he will be representing the u.s. in the summer games as we reported. head coach bill belichick today says he's rooting for his player. >> i've talked to nate several times, wish him well in his endeavor. it to follow his passion, you know, participate in the olympic games. so voting for him to bring something back around his neck. >> the enthusiasm... this is the first time rugby has been in the olympics since 1924 sod heman says it's a once in a lifetime opportunity. >> the u.s. gymnastics team is ready for rio. the squad landed today and
