Patriots inactives: TE Jacob Hollister, C/G Brian Schwenke, WR Chad Hansen, DE Derek Rivers, CB Keion Crossen, RB Sony Michel, CB J.C. Jackson. Of the group, Rivers a mild surprise.

Tom Brady, with the laser focus, arrives at 8:37 a.m. ET for today’s 1 p.m. kickoff.

Patriots WR Riley McCarron is active. It would make sense for him to return punts.

Keionta Davis active over Derek Rivers. Not the best sign for the #Patriots top draft pick in 2017. He's still never played for the team.

I had Davis with 1.5 sacks, 2 QB hits and 1 pressure in the preseason, mostly against backups. However, Davis is a bit more versatile than Rivers at this stage with his ability to kick inside as well.

Not worried about it yet but i hope this guy’s not another Shawn crable although he has showed flashes.

Shawn Crable... now there is a name I had almost completely forgotten... what a disappointment that was.

Is it a big James white day?

 

[JayNM]

Hollister is someone who I really want to see in action (so not this week...)

Some are excited, hoping we'll finally rebirth the 2 TE set, but last year he had nothing going for him.

 

[farn]

I am concerned about Rivers... had high hopes and didn’t know there was even a chance of him not suiting up...

 

[Observer]

Should be a fun game, though I won't be surprised or disappointed by a loss today.

Lets GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s one game relax. I still have high hopes for him.

Would not be surprised. But always disappointed. That is the type of excellence we’ve been spoiled by : always a good chance to win.

All projected starters minus Jules available ..

With Derek Rivers inactive, Patriots going with a DE depth chart of Trey Flowers, Adrian Claybkorn, Deatrich Wise Jr., Keionta Davis and Geneo Grissom. The significant role that Grissom plays on special teams helps give him an edge. Davis, with less ST impact, gets 4th spot.

 

[farn]

Is it a big James white day?

Every day will (potentially) be a big J.White day.

 

[Midship]

So pumped! Houston is a great opponent for the opening game - both in terms of entertainment and being a good test/looking like one of the biggest challengers in the AFC.

Need a new profile picture

Definitely curious to see if Davis is any good.

It’s not even a little concerning he lost out on the 4th DE spot to Davis?

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

This team stinks! These DBs can’t cover a wet paper bag! Just getting my preparation in.

It’s one game. If he doesn’t play the next 3 games after this then i will be concerned.
