The Patriots are heading into their second week of coaching camp, and we’ve got a a lot better sense of the place issues stand on the depth chart.
Right here’s an up to date take a look at the Patriots’ 90-man roster battles:
QUARTERBACK
Drake Maye, Joshua Dobbs, Ben Wooldridge
- No surprises right here by means of three practices, although Dobbs has struggled at time, and Wooldridge has made some first rate passes. The most important questions listed below are whether or not the Patriots are glad with Dobbs as their backup and Wooldridge as their third-string choice. It nonetheless feels just like the Patriots may use an improve in depth behind Maye.
RUNNING BACK
Rhamondre Stevenson, Antonio Gibson, TreVeyon Henderson, Lan Larison, Terrell Jennings, Trayveon Williams
- Stevenson was held out of the early portion of apply Saturday and was changed by Gibson within the first-team unit, although Henderson, a rookie, did spell the veteran operating again. Larison has been receiving extra work than Jennings or Williams behind the highest three backs.
FULLBACK
Brock Lampe
- Lampe is the one conventional fullback on the roster, and he has seen time with the first-team offense. He’s an undrafted free agent to observe for the 53-man roster.
WIDE RECEIVER
Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, Kyle Williams, Kendrick Bourne, Javon Baker, John Jiles, Jeremiah Webb
Injured: Ja’Lynn Polk
PUP: Mack Hollins
- For now, the highest two outdoors extensive receivers are Diggs and Boutte, although Williams, a rookie, is making a push. It is going to be fascinating to see the place Hollins and Polk slot in when wholesome. Hollins may push Boutte and Williams for the “X” receiver function. It’s unclear whether or not the brand new teaching employees views Polk as extra of an outdoor or inside extensive receiver.
SLOT RECEIVER
DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism, Demeer Blankumsee
- It positively wouldn’t be a shock if Polk is used as a slot receiver in his return to apply since depth is shallow at this place. Chism, a UDFA, was a standout in the course of the spring however hasn’t made many highlights to this point in coaching camp.
TIGHT END
Hunter Henry, Jack Westover, Gee Scott Jr., CJ Dippre, Jaheim Bell
PUP: Austin Hooper
- Westover has been a daily presence within the beginning offense, however that ought to change when Hooper returns. Nonetheless, if the Patriots have been to maintain three tight ends, Westover could be the favourite over Scott, Dippre and Bell.
LEFT TACKLE
Will Campbell, Marcus Bryant, Yasir Durant
PUP: Vederian Lowe
- Lowe stays out whereas he recovers from harm on the PUP listing. It will not be a shock if he overtook Bryant, a seventh-round decide, because the staff’s high backup left sort out in his return. Bryant does seem like holding his personal, nonetheless.
RIGHT TACKLE
Morgan Moses, Demontrey Jacobs, Jack Conley
- Jacobs has primarily performed proper sort out, although he did get some reps at left sort out on Friday. It seems he’s at the moment the staff’s high swing sort out.
LEFT GUARD
Cole Unusual, Jared Wilson, Caedan Wallace, Tyrese Robinson, Mehki Butler
- Unusual is the present starter, although he’s receiving competitors from Wilson, a rookie, and Wallace, a 2024 third-round decide, each of whom have seen reps with the first-team offense. That is probably the most open competitors on the roster.
RIGHT GUARD
Mike Onwenu, Sidy Sow, Layden Robinson
- Given the truth that he began 11 video games final season, it’s been a slight shock to see Robinson buried on the third string. He had points with penalties and cross safety final season, nonetheless, and was seemingly a favourite of Jerod Mayo.
CENTER
Garrett Bradbury, Jared Wilson, Ben Brown
- Wilson can have each alternative to beat out Bradbury, however he’s at the moment the backup right here.
DEFENSIVE TACKLE
Milton Williams, Christian Barmore, Khyiris Tonga, Jeremiah Pharms Jr., Jaquelin Roy, Joshua Farmer, Isaiah Iton, Jahvaree Ritzie, David Olajiga
- When the Patriots go huge up entrance, will probably be Williams, Barmore and Tonga in the course of the protection. Farmer will doubtless make the roster as a 2025 fourth-round decide, leaving Pharms, Roy, Iton, Ritzie and Olajiga to battle it out for one or two spots.
EDGE DEFENDER
Harold Landry, Keion White, Okay’Lavon Chaisson, Anfernee Jennings, Truman Jones, Bradyn Swinson, Elijah Ponder
- Landry, White and Chaisson are the gamers receiving most first-team reps at outdoors linebacker/defensive finish. Jennings and Jones have been regulars within the second-team unit.
LINEBACKER
Robert Spillane, Christian Elliss, Jahlani Tavai, Jack Gibbens, Monty Rice, Marte Mapu, Cam Riley
- Thus far, it seems to be like Spillane and Elliss would be the two beginning linebackers. Tavai, who started the summer time on the PUP listing, nonetheless appears to be easing again into the protection. It’s a crowded group between Gibbens, Rice, Mapu and Riley, a UDFA, with all 4 of these gamers seemingly receiving equal alternatives.
CORNERBACK
Christian Gonzalez, Carlton Davis III, Alex Austin, Miles Battle, D.J. James, Isaiah Bolden, Kobee Minor, Brandon Crossley
- James is without doubt one of the under-the-radar gamers to observe. He had an interception earlier in camp and a cross breakup on Saturday. He may make the roster because the fourth outdoors cornerback as he gives competitors for Battle, Bolden, Minor and Crossley.
SLOT CORNERBACK
Marcus Jones, Marcellas Dial, Jordan Polk
- Jones has nonetheless been working because the staff’s high nickel cornerback. Dial and Polk are his high reserves inside.
SAFETY
Kyle Dugger, Jabrill Peppers, Craig Woodson, Jaylinn Hawkins, Dell Pettus, Marcus Epps, Brenden Schooler
- Whereas Dugger and Peppers nonetheless appear to be starters, Woodson, a rookie, has been making a push early in camp. Epps at the moment seems to be buried behind Dugger, Peppers, Woodson and Hawkins. Schooler will make the roster as an All-Professional special-teamer, although he’s engaged on the third-team protection.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Okay Andres Borregales, P Bryce Baringer, LS Julian Ashby, Okay Parker Romo
- Borregales is the favourite over Romo, however there’s nonetheless over a month earlier than roster cuts.
