FOXBORO — Patriots defensive tackle Lawrence Guy is present for training camp, which is an upgrade from his minicamp status.

But it seems the issues that kept Guy out of mandatory minicamp aren’t quite resolved. Guy’s absence was believed to be a contract issue, ESPN reported in June.

“Me and my agent have been in discussions with this organization and we’re gonna keep that private between us,” Guy said Thursday after Day 2 of training camp.

Guy said he welcomed a child around minicamp and “we had things we had to deal with.”

“We’re big on family, and we had to handle certain things,” Guys said. “We’re going to leave it at that.”

Guy wouldn’t say whether his presence at training camp meant that he was confident that his contract would be amended. The 6-foot-4, 315-pound defensive tackle still has two years and $6 million left on his deal.

“I’m here. A big smile on my face,” Guy said. “I’m going to do whatever I can for the organization. I’ll work as hard as I can. That’s why we play this game — to be out on this field. To be a brotherhood.”

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said Tuesday when players reported that he hoped that situation that kept Guy out of minicamp had been resolved.

“It’s football season. Most players play football in football season,” Belichick said. “We’ll see how it goes.”

The Patriots would free up over $3 million in cap space and take on just $500,000 in dead money if they released or traded Guy. The 33-year-old defender is a key cog for the Patriots. Most defensive tackles who are 30-plus struggle to command exorbitant salaries if they’re not key contributors as pass rushers, however.
