Will Croston again make the team’s 53-man roster?
The New England Patriots currently have 89 players on their active roster. However, only 53 of them will be able to survive the cutdowns on September 1 and ultimately make the team. Over the course of the offseason, we take a look at the players fighting for those spots to find out who has the best chances of helping the Patriots recapture the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Today, the series continues with one of New England’s offensive...
The Patriots have a rough streak of injuries with their top draft picks.
Both of the New England Patriots first round selections in this most recent are injured, with tackle Isaiah Wynn out for the year with a torn Achilles and running back Sony Michel battling a knee injury. These injuries could be chalked up to bad luck, but it follows a stretch of bad injuries by Patriots draft picks- and some that the Patriots could have foreseen.
Michel, for instance, battled a series of injuries in...
The difference was striking.
Alec and I spoke at length on our podcast about how New England Patriots back-up quarterback Brian Hoyer did not look great in the first preseason game. Hoyer’s passes lacked the necessary velocity to compensate for his elongated throwing motion, which led to a lot of opportunities for defenders to close any separation with the receiver and swat away the football.
Watching Tom Brady carve up the Eagles defense over the first half, and then watching Hoyer play...
The Patriots will need some help at tackle.
New England Patriots offensive tackle Isaiah Wynn tore his Achilles on Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles and will miss his entire rookie season. It’s always terrible to see a player lost to an injury, but hopefully he’ll be able to return at full strength in 2019 and be a contributor.
Wynn was competing for a starting job at tackle and he also offered value on the inside at guard. While Trent Brown and Marcus Cannon are the...
Notes, musings, and observations from Week 2 of the preseason.
2-0!
And nobody cares!
Maybe I’m just getting soft in my old age...but I’m starting to enjoy the preseason more and more with each passing year. Not only is it nice to watch a Pats game completely free from any stress or tension that accompanies the regular season and playoffs, but it’s also fun to watch the guys on the back end of the roster giving it their all as they try to earn a roster spot. Add to that the 2018 debut...

While the New England Patriots played a very strong second preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday, the team also saw one of its first-round draft picks go down with an injury: late in the second quarter, offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn limped off the field after apparently injuring his ankle.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the rookie’s injury is a serious one:
Patriots’ first-round pick, OT Isaiah Wynn, tore his...
Oh, this was the actual Super Bowl!
Forget whatever happened last February between the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles during Super Bowl LII, that’s all in the past. This year’s Patriots roared out to a 34-7 lead in the second week of the preseason against the Eagles and really reinforced what we all knew all along.
The playoffs don’t matter, it’s what happens in the preseason that really matters the most. Who needs Super Bowl trophies when you can experience...
New addition Adrian Clayborn and several young Patriots pass-rushers enjoyed a productive night against the Eagles.
There’s a precedent for Patriots rookie Isaiah Wynn taking a year to learn the ins and outs of the offensive line before taking over as a starter.
Editor’s Note 1: As of this writing on Thursday night, Isaiah Wynn was carted off the field with an ankle injury.
Editor’s Note 2: TAKE MY ANKLES ISAIAH, I’VE ALREADY DONE MY ONE ATHLETIC EVENT FOR THE YEAR SO I’M GOOD
Worst-case scenario notwithstanding, aside from an open bar of questions about the defense like “Do you think we’ll...
Solid work from the first team offense and defense blew this game open in the first half and the Patriots cruised from there.
The Patriots’ starting units stepped up tonight, with Brady throwing for 2 touchdowns and the starting defense allowing only 7 points. The Patriots defense saw rookies Ja’Whaun Bentley and Keion Crossen in the starting lineup as well as 2nd year player Keionta Davis, who missed 2017 with a neck injury. The Patriots’ front 7 looked faster and more active
The...
Brady looked very good during his first game of the year.
The New England Patriots’ second preseason game is in the books and it saw the return of the NFL’s greatest ever quarterback: Tom Brady played his first game of the year against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles and played essentially the entire first half of his team’s 37-20 victory. During his two quarters worth of work, the 41-year old led four scoring drives and laid the foundation for the Patriots’ second straight...
Great work by the Patriots!

The second preseason game is over.
The first half of preseason is over and the New England Patriots sit at 2-0 after defeating the visiting Philadelphia Eagles 37-20. While we will have plenty of analysis online over the next week, let’s take a quick look at some of the top stories from the game.
Tom Brady looked sharp in his debutAfter sitting out the preseason opener against Washington, Tom Brady was back on the field and looked like his usual self. Playing the entire first half, the...
The first-round rookie suffered an injury in the first quarter.
There was a lot to like during the first quarter of the New England Patriots’ preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Led by Tom Brady, the offense looked solid while the team’s defense applied plenty of pressure on reigning Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles. However, there was one clear negative: first-round rookie Isaiah Wynn had to leave the contest after suffering an ankle injury.
Wynn rotated in and out of the lineup at...
Already looking to be in mid-season form, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady just threw his first touchdown pass of the preseason.Watch here as Brady hits wide receiver Chris Hogan for a four-yard score. Brady went a perfect 5-of-5 on the Patriots’ opening drive, tallying 26 passing yards. He is expected to at least play the entire first quarter.
The Philadelphia Eagles are in Foxborough, Mass., on Thursday night to take on the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in a preseason match-up. The exhibition of course will be a revival of the teams’ showdown Super Bowl LII, albeit with far lower stakes. Despite the relatively benign nature of the evening’s game, Eagles fans have been pulling out all the stops to remind Patriot Nation of their place. What’s more, the trolling has now taken to the skies.A plane was spotted flying...
Are you ready for some football?
The New England Patriots host the Philadelphia Eagles for the second preseason game of the year and we’re likely to see Tom Brady for much of the first half. Hopefully everyone stays healthy and we get to see some good performances from key players!
Watch out for youngsters getting a chance to play with the top units. I would expect receiver Riley McCarron to get some opportunities with the first team offense, while linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley and...
At least 10 men won’t hit the field tonight.
The New England Patriots will host the Philadelphia Eagles tonight in the rare preseason game that comes with a certain amount of hype. The contest is a rematch of Super Bowl 52, after all, a game that the Eagles won. Tonight, the Patriots will therefore try to get the smallest revenge imaginable. However, they will have to do so without some of their starters.
The following 10 players did not participate in warmups and will be out tonight (via...
